Morel's Dysoric Angiopathy

Morel's dysoric angiopathy Morel's dysoric angiopathy is a disease that affects the retina of the eye and can lead to blurred vision and even blindness. It is characterized by the presence of red or dark brown spots on the retina of the eye, which may be associated with inflammation or damage.

More than half a century ago, in 1932, M.O. Gurvich was the first to discover peculiar microscopic changes in the vessels of the fundus of the eye in patients with syphilis, which gave him the basis to describe these lesions as dysoretic angiopathy (dysoric angiopathy). He also proposed the term “syphilitic angiochorioretipathy”, without receiving unanimous support and support among the medical community. A few years later they began to talk more and more insistently about the need to name such changes. It had to be different from the terms already used, which combined lesions not only in syphilis, but also in other diseases.
