Abstract

The evolution of a case of acute occlusion of the choriocapillaris, with retinal detachment, during a toxemia of pregnancy is reported. The evolution of the angiographic findings are studied. At the acute stage, some spots of leakage appeared in the area of choroïdal filling defect. The healing results in Elschnig's spots, which take up an area much smaller than the initial non perfusion. The various stages of ischaemic involvement of retinal pigmentary epithelium and their angiographic aspects are discussed.
