[Secondary disciform macular degeneration (author's transl)].

The disciform macular degeneration is in rare cases preceded by well-known diseases which have in common the destruction of the Bruch's membrane, recurrent haemorrhages with exudation from the choriocapillaris and later on ingrown of fibrovascular tissue into the subretinal space. The authors report on cases with chorioidal ruptures, vascularlike stripes and focal chorioiditis.
