Suprachorioidea

Suprachoroid is a term used in ophthalmology to refer to the choroid of the eyeball located above the retina. This is the area of ​​the eye that contains many blood vessels and nerves and also provides nutrition and protection to the retina.

The suprachoroid membrane consists of several layers. The outermost layer is called the episclera and is a thin transparent membrane that covers the outside of the eyeball. Beneath the episclera is a thin vascular membrane called the choroid. The choroid contains many small vessels that provide nutrition to the retina and other structures of the eye.

The importance of the suprachoroid lies in its role in protecting the eye from damage. It protects the retina from mechanical damage, ultraviolet radiation and other factors that can damage vision. In addition, the suprachoroid membrane plays an important role in maintaining normal pressure inside the eye and regulating the metabolism between blood and eye tissues.

Suprachoroid is a developmental abnormality of the retina. The complication often occurs in newborns. The pathology is characterized by a failure in the formation and location of blood vessels in the choroid layer. This condition is considered a deviation from the norm in the anatomical development of the eye membranes. Ophthalmologists sometimes prescribe surgery after birth, but in the case of a hereditary nature of the disease, it is performed after 6 months. Treatment is carried out by ophthalmologists and neurologists.

The most important role in suprachoroidal atrophy is to protect the brain from mechanical and other harmful influences. The bones of the skull, strong cranial walls and soft brain tissue are a strong obstacle to any processes penetrating from the outside. In addition, they also ensure the safety of the head inside the womb.
