title: [Colloid bodies. A cause of vascular complications (author's transl)].
abstract: Optic disc colloid bodies are more common than previously supposed. They were noted to occur in 2.04% of unselected globes obtained at autopsy. Hemorrhages of the disc and juxtapapillary fundus are not infrequently found in association with disc colloid bodies. Superficial hemorrhages may be due to erosion of existing disc blood vessels by enlarging colloid bodies, on the other hand, juxtapapillary hemorrhages may occur from neovascularization induced by the colloid bodies. Ultrasound examination may be useful as an aid in diagnosing disc colloid bodies.
