Ocular involvement in disseminated intravascular coagulopathy
D. G. Cogan
Seven cases illustrate the ocular pathology of disseminated intravascular
coagulopathy in its several stages, and correlate these changes with the
clinical manifestations. The prime abnormalities consisted of detachments
of the retina, vacuolar disruption of the pigment epithelium, choroidal
hemorrhage, and, most importantly, thrombotic occlusion of the
choriocapillaris and of the juxtaposed vessels in the submacular and
peripapillary regions. The changes were characteristically symmetrical in
the two eyes.
