Optic disc neovascularization of uveal (choroidal or posterior ciliary) origin
G. K. Asdourian, M. F. Goldberg and B. Busse
Fluorescein angiography during the choroidal phase of perfusion has been
used to study the origin of blood vessels comprising neovascular tissue of
the disc. These newly formed vessels were shown to derive their blood
supply primarily from the uveal circulation rather than from the retinal
circulation. This is related to the observation that many normal disc blood
vessels originate from the choroidal or posterior ciliary circulation.
