Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)The choroid is directly adjacent to the retina and consists of a dense vascular network that supplies the outer retina. Pathologies in the choroid can lead to changes in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptors. Thus, the choroid plays a crucial role in the development of retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), pathologic myopia, and inflammatory diseases such as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome (VKH). Basic knowledge of the structure and physiology of the choroid, as well as diagnostic options for visualizing choroidal changes, provides a better understanding of the physiology and pathology of choroidal processes. This review provides an overview of the anatomy and function of the choroid, and describes the diagnostic techniques currently available to characterize and visualize the choroid. It also includes an overview of various retinal conditions, which are associated with choroidal changes.
