title: [Bilateral idiopathic choroidal folds].
abstract: Choroidal folds present as parallel bright and dark lines, which may be detected with funduscopy. Optical coherence tomography, red free fundus photography, autofluorescence and fluorescein angiography may be also helpful to establish the diagnosis. The authors present the case of a 70-year-old male who was evaluated because of a 1-month history of blurred vision on his right eye. Dilated fundus examination revealed choroidal folds in both eyes, which failed to affect visual acuity. No neurological pathologies were found. There was no change in the patient condition during a follow-up period of 6 months. The authors note that choroidal folds are often not recognized because they are usually asymptomatic. There are several possible causes which should be considered. The diagnosis of idiopathic choroidal folds is based on the exclusion of other pathologies. Observation of the patient's visual acuity and monitoring for fundus changes are needed.
