Abstract
Having previously given the background information on the physiological anatomy of the choroidal vasculature (HAYREH, 1976), I would like very briefly to discuss the various lesions seen in choroidal arterial occlusive disorders. These I have discussed in detail elsewhere (HAYREH, 1974a, b, 1975a, b;Hayreh & Baines, 1972a, b). The choroid supplies the overlying pigment epithelium and the outer retina, which comprises the layer of rods and cones, the outer nuclear and plexiform layers, and the whole thickness of the foveal retina. In eyes with a cilioretinal artery, a variable area of the inner retina is also supplied. Although the peripapillary choroid also takes part in the blood supply of the anterior part of the optic nerve, I do not propose to discuss nerve lesions here, as I have dealt with them at length elsewhere (HAYREH, 1975b).
