Senile Choroidal Atrophy

Senile choroidal sclerosis.

Choroidal sclerosis is a descriptive term applied to the ophthalmoscopic appearance of prominent white choroidal vessels in which the blood columns are not seen or are sheathed by white lines. The two pathological reports of central areolar choroidal atrophy (Ashton, I953; Babel, I958) and one report of central choroidal sclerosis (Howard and Wolf, I964) have not shown a greater degree of angio...

Gyrate atrophy and choroidal neovascularization.

Choroidal rupture and optic atrophy.

The association between post-traumatic optic disc pallor and traumatic choroidal rupture is poorly understood. To further define this relationship, nine cases of indirect traumatic choroidal rupture and post-traumatic optic disc pallor were compared with cases of indirect choroidal rupture without disc pallor in terms of severity of ocular injury, fundus findings, and visual outcome. The type a...

Choroidal neo-vascularization presentation in younger age group (pre-senile).

Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the most common cause of permanent visual loss in the elderly. Advancing age, as the name suggests, is a major risk factor. Vascular endothelial growth factor. (VEGF) along with other factors could be responsible for the dramatic damage in the eyes. Although uncommon in pre-senile group, this disorder can also occur unrelated to age, such as pathologic...

Choroidal Round Hyporeflectivities in Geographic Atrophy

PURPOSE In geographic atrophy (GA), choroidal vessels typically appear on structural optical coherence tomography (OCT) as hyperreflective round areas with highly reflective borders. We observed that some GA eyes show choroidal round hyporeflectivities with highly reflective borders beneath the atrophy, and futher investigated the charcteristcs by comparing structural OCT, indocyanine green ang...
