    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Choroidal folds are a recognized ophthalmic finding requiring thorough differential diagnosis.
    • Understanding the underlying causes is crucial for appropriate patient management.

    Observation:

    • The study analyzed six patients presenting with choroidal folds.
    • Detailed diagnostic evaluations were performed for each case.

    Findings:

    • Retrobulbar tumors were identified as the cause in three patients.
    • Hypotony and marked hyperopia were each identified as the cause in one patient.
    • One case of choroidal folds was classified as idiopathic, with no underlying pathology detected.

    Implications:

    • This case series underscores the diverse etiologies of choroidal folds.
    • Accurate differential diagnosis is essential for identifying potentially serious underlying conditions.
    • Idiopathic choroidal folds represent a subset requiring continued observation.
