An Attempt to Classify (Pathologically) the Various Fundus Pictures in Diseases of the Choroid

Abstract

Mr. Hepburn read a paper on the above subject, and by means of suitable fundus drawings endeavoured to prove that all pictures could be relegated to one or other of the following groups:—

Inflammatory: (a) Acute stage; (b) scarred stage.

Vascular: (a) Acute stage; (b) scarred stage; (c) slow progressive changes due to disease or spasmodic contraction of the vessel walls.

Hyaline, calcareous, and similar degenerations of the membrane of Bruch.

New growths.

Congenital; including colobomata.

Injuries; leading to concussion changes and ruptures.
