Choroidal Tumors
Abstract Intraocular tumors involving the choroid are both rare and highly diverse. As a result, the diagnosis and management of these tumors can be challenging. Classically, a variety of techniques…
Imaging and Diagnosis of Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy
Abstract Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy was initially described as a type of macula disorder presenting with recurrent subretinal pigment epithelial hemorrhage. Since then, more have been known about this particular disease….
Imaging Choroidal Disorders: The Future
Abstract Choroidal imaging is a fast developing field of research. This chapter highlights the use of new technology in this field including; spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), enhanced-depth imaging…
Chorioretinal Inflammatory Non-Infectious Diseases
Abstract Imaging techniques in posterior noninfectious uveitis provide relevant information for the diagnosis and management of these diseases. Several imaging techniques could be used, depending on the pathology, to provide…
High Myopia
Abstract The choroid plays an important role in the physiology and pathology of high myopic eyes. The choroid has been demonstrated to be thinner in high myopia comparing to control…
The Choroid in Retinal Vascular Diseases
Abstract The choroid is a vascular layer that supplies the outer retina. The thickness of the choroid can change in the context of several retinal vascular diseases. Nevertheless, our understanding…
Choroidal Findings in Systemic Disorders
Abstract Since the choroid is a highly vasculature structure, it may potentially be affected by a wide range of systemic conditions. Recently, there have been a surge of studies to…
Central Serous Chorioretinopathy
Abstract Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a common disorder that predominantly affects males. Multimodal imaging has improved our understanding of the disease. However, the exact mechanisms of the disease pathology…
Neovascular (Wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Abstract Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterized by the presence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) which may result in hemorrhage and edema, hence impairing vision. Fluorescein angiography is used to…
Choroidal Neovascularization Secondary to Diseases Other than Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Abstract While choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is typically associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), other ocular pathologies such as pathologic myopia, inflammatory diseases, angioid streaks, central serous chorioretinopathy, and trauma may…
