title: [Juvenile hemorrhagic ocular choroidopathy (author's transl)].
abstract: We observed in 13 young patients a serous or hemorrhagic paramacular detachment of one third to one half disc diameter size. In eight, we have seen also atrophic choroidal scars. In one patient the serous detachment occured at the site of a previously studied choroidal scar. Our cases resemble the presumed ocular histoplasmin choroiditis described in American literature. In our cases histoplasmosis can be excluded. Visual prognosis is dependent upon proximity of the choroidal lesion to the fovea. In most cases this prognosis is poor. The term juvenile hemorrhagic ocular choroidopathy is suggested for the disease.
