Clinica de Oftalmologie, Timişoara.

A clinical case of juvenile macular hemorrhagic choroidopathy is presented. The affection is distinguished by the appearance to a young adult of a placard of neuroepithelium serous decoloration, and also by macular hemorrhages and the absence of other local or general inflammatory implications. This clinical case is interesting because of the very young age limit at which the illness appeared. Other elements of diagnosis, pathogeny and treatment are also discussed.

D008266	Macula Lutea	An oval area in the retina, 3 to 5 mm in diameter, usually located temporal to the posterior pole of the eye and slightly below the level of the optic disk. It is characterized by the presence of a yellow pigment diffusely permeating the inner layers, contains the fovea centralis in its center, and provides the best phototropic visual acuity. It is devoid of retinal blood vessels, except in its periphery, and receives nourishment from the choriocapillaris of the choroid.
