Abstract

In case of choroidal degenerative diseases that may result in choroidal sclerosis, the basic pathology begins in the retinal pigment epithelium. After the loss of retinal pigment epithelium, the choriocapillaris layer is affected and atrophies develop. In the advanced stages of the disease, large choroidal vessels present a sclerotic appearance due to degeneration. This pathology has been known for many years and the disease was analyzed under three headings as central areolar, peripapillary and diffuse form. Today, it is known that this pathology may accompany various ocular pathologies. For this reason, when a choroidal sclerosis is encountered, a detailed examination should be made and pathologies which may be the underlying cause should be investigated.

Özet

Koroidal skleroz ile sonuçlanan koroidal dejeneratif hastalıklarda temel patoloji retina pigment epitelinde başlamaktadır. Retina pigment epitel kaybı geliştikten sonra koryokapillaris tabakası etkilenerek atrofiye gitmektedir. Hastalığın ileri evrelerinde ise büyük koroidal damarlar dejenere olmakta ve sklerotik bir görünüme bürünmektedir. Bu patoloji uzun yıllardır bilinmektedir. Hastalık başlangıçta santral areolar, peripapiller ve diffüz form olmak üzere 3 başlık altında incelenmiştir. Günümüzde bu patolojinin çeşitli oküler patolojilere eşlik edebildiği bilinmektedir. Bu nedenle bu bulgu ile karşılaşıldığında detaylı bir inceleme yapılarak altta yatan nedene yönelik patolojiler araştırılmalıdır.
