Abstract

The choroid is a highly vascular, pigmented tissue located between the retina and sclera. The structure and thickness of choroid can be assessed by recently developed optical coherence tomography technologies. Age-related choroidal atrophy is a choroidal pathology that affects the elderly population and often accompanies and sometimes mimics age-related macular degeneration. Patients with age-related choroidal atrophy have a better visual function, but have a higher risk of developing glaucoma

Özet

Koroid tabakası retina ile sklera arasında yerleşmiş pigmentli ve hayli yoğun vasküler ağa sahip bir dokudur. Koroidin yapısı ve kalınlığı son zamanlarda geliştirilmiş OCT teknolojisi ile değerlendirilebilmektedir. Yaşa bağlı koroidal atrofi, yaşlı popülasyonu etkileyen ve sıklıkla yaşa bağlı maküla dejenerasyonu ile birlikte olan ve bazen de onu taklit edebilen bir koroid patolojisidir. Yaşa bağlı koroidal atrofi olan hastalar daha iyi görsel fonksiyona sahip iken daha fazla glokom gelişme riski göstermektedir
