title: [Choroidal folds].
abstract: Choroidal folds are quite difficult to recognize and are frequently over-passed, although they have a characteristic aspect at the fundus examination. They are not a diagnosis but a clinical sign, that may be idiopathic or in association with an ocular pathology. Recognizing them can orientate in establishing a certain diagnosis. We present here the main causes of choroidal folds, and a detailed description of their clinical aspects, hoping that this important clinical landmark will be more easier to recognize and interpret.
