Retinochoroiditis

Retinochorioitis is a serious eye disease that can lead to vision loss. It occurs as a result of inflammation of the choroid of the eye, located behind the retina. The choroid is responsible for transporting oxygen and nutrients to the retina and also protects it from damage. Retinochoroiditis may

Retino- + Greek *chori(on) - choroid, fundus + itis - inflammatory disease.

As a rule, keratitis occurs against the background of an inflammatory process caused by opportunistic bacteria or pathogenic microorganisms. In this case, active proliferation of microbial flora occurs in the surface layers of the cornea.

There is no separate form of retinochoroiditis. Retinoidosis is part of a group of various lesions of the orbit and optic nerve. The disease combines inflammatory processes in the retina and choroid (choroiditis).

The development of the disease is accompanied by the following symptoms: * decreased visual acuity; * narrowing of the visual image (appearance of a veil or “flies” before the eyes); * photophobia; * clouding and redness of the iris; * accumulation of blood between the choroid and the iris (hyperemia of the optic disc, flattening of the disc, ruptures with hemorrhage).
