title: Clinical observations concerning choroidal folds.
abstract: This paper deals with 6 patients who suffer from choroidal folds. Special emphasis will be laid on several aspects of differential diagnostics. In our 6 cases discussed here, we found a retrobulbar tumor in 3 patients, hypotony in 1, and a marked hyperopia in another as causes. In the 6th patient no pathological condition was found, and, therefore, we characterized the choroidal folds in this case as idiopathic.
