[Peripapillary geographic choriopathy].

Examinations of 179 patients with peripapillary geographic choriopathy (PGC) revealed that peripapillary landscape-like foci often involving the macula and periphery of the fundus oculi are the pathognomonic symptom of PGC which permits the diagnosis of the condition without additional examinations in more than 90% of patients. The incidence and types of complications are assessed. The possibility of a unilateral disease is proven. Previous data on the nontuberculous origin of PGC have been confirmed.
