Choroidal folds are undulations in Bruch's membrane, the retinal pigment epithelium and possibly the outer retina. They can result from any intra-or extraocular process that induces sufficient compressive stress within the choroid, Bruch's membrane and retina to force these tissues to buckle. Numero
The blind and painful right eye of a 34-year-old woman with the Sturge-Weber syndrome had to be enucleated on account of keratitis e lagophthalmo. Histopathological examination revealed drusen of the optic disc, which had caused central retinal vein occlusion.
Using Littmann's method for correcting the magnification of central fundus photographs we evaluated the absolute optic disc size in 26 eyes with visible optic nerve head drusen. The optic nerve head area in these eyes (1.79 +-0.50mm 2) was significantly smaller (p<0.001) than normal standard values
