[Hemorrhagic macular choroidopathy in young subjects]. / Choroïdopathie maculaire hémorragique chez les sujets jeunes

The haemorrhagic macular choroidopathy is a characteristic and rather frequent disease, which is seen in young subjects. We observed it in 23 patients, aged between 12 and 51 years. The disease resembles the presumed histoplasmin choroiditis, described in the American literature. In our cases, histoplasmosis can nevertheless be excluded and in the American cases it is not proven. In fact, the etiology is still unknown, but in 13 of our cases the origin may have been a disseminated choroiditis.
