In the lecture, literature data and results of own studies are presented upon etiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment of the peripapillary geographic choriopathy a severe progressing disease of eye fundus structures, that may often lead to blindness. A peripapillary geographic choriopathy clinical classification is recommended. The possibility of diagnosis in 96% of cases basing on ophthalmologic picture is established. The efficacy of regular medical treatment (no less than 2 cures a year) is proven, if necessary in combination with photocoagulation and revascularization of the choroid.
