Focal chorioretinal inflammation - what does this mean
Focal chorioretinal inflammation is an inflammatory condition of the eye that occurs when the choroid and/or the retina become inflamed due to an infection, injury, or autoimmune disorder. it is characterized by swelling, redness, and pain in the affected area. in some cases, scarring may occur, leading to vision loss. treatment typically involves the use of anti-inflammatory medications, such as corticosteroids, and laser therapy to reduce inflammation.
What happens during the disease - focal chorioretinal inflammation
Focal chorioretinal inflammation is an inflammatory disorder caused by a variety of infectious and noninfectious agents, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. it is characterized by the infiltration of inflammatory cells, such as lymphocytes and macrophages, into the choroid and retina, resulting in retinal edema, scarring, and retinal detachment. this can lead to decreased vision and even blindness if left untreated.
