Choroidal haemorrhage and rupture - what does this mean
Choroidal haemorrhage and rupture occurs when blood vessels in the choroid, a layer of blood vessels located between the retina and sclera, burst and leak into the space between the retina and the choroid. this causes swelling and bleeding in the choroid, leading to vision loss and other complications.
What happens during the disease - choroidal haemorrhage and rupture
Choroidal haemorrhage and rupture is caused by a sudden increase in intraocular pressure, leading to damage to the blood vessels of the choroid layer of the eye. this can be caused by a variety of factors such as hypertension, trauma, and certain medications. once the blood vessels are damaged, blood and fluid can leak into the vitreous cavity of the eye, causing a haemorrhage and potentially a rupture of the eye.
