- Abstract
Choroidal folds is considered the most prevalent funduscopic finding in cases of orbital tumors. They are ripples in the retinal pigment epithelium, Bruch's membrane, the inner portion of the choriocapillaris and in some cases, may affect the neurosensory retina, and then called chorioretinal folds. Several ocular and systemic conditions are associated with the finding and must be properly investigated and, if necessary, promptly treated. In this review we discuss the general aspects of choroidal folds, emphasizing their characteristic features in the following ophthalmological imaging tests: Retinography, fundus autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography.
