The choroid is part of the uveal tract and is a heavily vascularized bed that also contains connective tissue and melanin pigment. Given the role of the choroidal vasculature in the blood supply of the anterior laminar and prelaminar regions of the optic nerve head, the peripapillary choroid might be a relevant target for investigation in patients with glaucoma. The purpose of this paper is to critically review the current understanding of potential role of the choroid in the pathogenesis of glaucomatous damage.
脉络膜是葡萄膜的一部分,是一个血管丰富的组织床,还包含结缔组织和黑色素。鉴于脉络膜血管系统对视神经乳头前层和层前区域血液供应的作用,视乳头周围脉络膜可能是青光眼患者研究的一个相关靶点。本文的目的是批判性地回顾目前对脉络膜在青光眼性损害发病机制中潜在作用的理解。
