Also known as Chorioretinitis (& photoretinitis), Chorioretinitis (disorder), Chorioretinitis, unspecified, Other and unspecified forms of chorioretinitis and retinochoroiditis, Other chorioretinitis and retinochoroiditis (disorder), Other chorioretinitis or retinochoroiditis NOS (disorder), Retinitis and chorioretinitis, retinochoroiditis
Chorioretinitis is an inflammation of the choroid (thin pigmented vascular coat of the eye) and retina of the eye. It is a form of posterior uveitis. Inflammation of these layers can lead to vision-threatening complications. If only the choroid is inflamed, not the retina, the condition is termed choroiditis. The ophthalmologist's goal in treating these potentially blinding conditions is to eliminate the inflammation and minimize the potential risk of therapy to the patient.
