[Choriocapillaris occlusion in Moschowitz's disease (author's transl)]

Two cases of choriocapillaris occlusion in Moschowitz's disease were examined. The first case was seen at the acute stage with severe findings including retinal detachment, yellowish spots, dye leakage in the subretinal space. Pathology examination revealed multiples choriocapillaris occlusions and foci of pigmentary epithelial necrosis. The second case was seen at the sequelar stage, with numerous Elschnig's spots well documented by angiography. Relationship between angiographic and pathologic findings are discussed, and emphasize the various kinds of blood retinal barrier rupture at the level of pigmentary epithelium.
