摘要: The first section of this chapter describes the anatomy and physiology choroid vascular pattern choroidal vessels. is fundamental importance for nourishment retina so that all alterations lead to a disfunction retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), Bruch's membrane, choriocapillary complex. various methods used study its pathologies in post-mortem studies vivo are described—injection chromopolimer, Indocyanine Green Angiografy, Doppler flow studies. Age-related changes analyzed. Alterations have been described layers choroid, which part physiologic aging process. In certain cases, they can cause disease, but sometimes border between pathologic age-related very hard identify. represents preferential target diseases. particular, we describe physiopathology such as hypertension, diabetes, AMD, atherosclerosis—so common elderly. diabetes AMD represent main causes blindness industrialized countries.
