AB  - The objective is to evaluate the clinic characteristics of 
  patients with choroidal folds. A retrospective study of 39 patients (68 eyes) 
  with choroidal folds. All the subjects underwent Fluorescence Angiography (FA), 
  however only parts of them underwent Indocyanine Green Angiography (ICGA) and 
  Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). There were 24 patients with uveitis, of 
  which 12 were Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH). Choroidal folds appeared as 
  alternating light and dark streaks in the pole. On FA examination, the folds 
  showed almost parallel bands of either hypofluorescence or hyperfluorescence. 
  The remarkable thing is that two types of choroidal folds-coarse folds and wrinkles 
  were observed on FA. On ICGA examination, choroidal folds showed either normal 
  or hypofluorescent at early stages and showed either hyperfluorescent or hypofluorescent 
  at late stages. OCT can directly display morphological characteristics of choroidal 
  folds in some patients and the folds involve the Retinal Pigment Epithelium 
  (RPE) and choroidal layer. Uveitis, especially VKH, researchers suspect is the 
  main cause of choroidal folds in Chinese patients. The two types of choroidal 
  folds were noted on FA which are coarse folds and wrinkles.
