ABSTRACT

Objective: To identify the frequency of chorioretinal folds.
Methods: This is an observational, longitudinal, and descriptive study realized from January 1991 to December 2001. Dates were taken from ocular fundous reports made by two retinal ophthalmologists.
Results: We found 12 cases of chorioretinal folds among 35,000 patients (0.034%). The associated diagnosis was: Age related macular degeneration, hypotony in glaucoma surgery, myopia, optical neuropathy, orbital tumor, choroidal tumor, and idiopathic.
Conclusions: We demonstrate a very low frequency of chorioretinal folds, and conclude that 1 of 3000 patients can show them. There is no age or sex relation and symptoms depend on the local disease.
