Choroïdopathie maculaire hémorragique chez les sujets jeunes

Abstract

Hemorrhagic macular choroidopathy is a characteristic and rather frequent disease, seen in young subjects. It was observed in 23 patients, 12-51 yr old. The disease resembled the presumed histoplasmin choroiditis, described in the American literature. In these cases histoplasmosis could nevertheless be excluded, and in the American cases it was not proven. The etiology is still unknown, but in 13 of our cases, the origin may have been a disseminated choroiditis.
