Choroidopathy in hypertensive retinopathies characterised by choroidal infarcts and exudative retinal detachment.
Damage to your eyes: Like other vessels, the eyes can also be damaged, causing eye blood vessel damage (retinopathy), fluid buildup under the retina (
choroidopathy), nerve damage (optic neuropathy)

choroidopathy. Trans Am Ophthalmol Soc.
Fluorescein and indocyanine green angiographies of central serous
choroidopathy by scanning laser ophthalmoscopy.
It is speculated that diabetic
choroidopathy (DC) would have a role in explaining visual loss in diabetic eyes without retinopathy (15).
In differential diagnosis of exudative detachment there are uveal fusion syndrome,
choroidopathy, Harada syndrome, choroid detachment, choroidal neovascularisation, and severe intraocular hypotonic but with consideration of patients age and primary illness it was thought with orbital relapse.

choroidopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus," Lupus, vol.
Diabetic
choroidopathy is thought to originate, like DR, in microangiopathy [28, 29], but the relationship between CT and NCV has not been adequately investigated.
A third patient with Serpiginous
Choroidopathy improved from 20/80- to 20/60+1 in the right eye and from 20/50- to 20/20-3 in their left eye with increases in OCT, suggesting value in considering BMSC for atrophic retinal conditions.
It is important to note that other HIV-associated infectious causes of a retinitis such as varicella zoster virus, Toxoplasma gondii and
choroidopathy caused by Pneumocystis carinii, should be excluded.

choroidopathy
