Other disorders of choroid - what does this mean

Other disorders of choroid are a group of diseases that affect the choroid, a layer of blood vessels and connective tissue that lies between the sclera and the retina of the eye. these disorders can cause vision loss or other eye problems due to abnormal blood flow, inflammation, or abnormal growth of the choroid.

What happens during the disease - other disorders of choroid

The pathogenesis of other disorders of choroid is not well understood. it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, including exposure to environmental toxins, ultraviolet radiation, and infections. it is speculated that genetic mutations can lead to the abnormal development of the choroid, resulting in the formation of cysts, tumors, or other abnormalities in the choroid. additionally, autoimmune processes may play a role in the development of this disorder.
