text: This results in increased pressure from the deep choroid against the superficial choroid close to the retina, damaging the fine blood vessels (capillaries) needed to supply oxygen and nutrients to the retinal pigment epithelium and retina.
text: In between those two layers is Sattler's layer, which consists of blood vessels of mid-sized diameter as well as the choriocapillaris — named so because it consists of the smallest blood vessels, which are called capillaries.
text: This results in increased pressure from the deep choroid against the superficial choroid close to the retina, damaging the fine blood vessels (capillaries) needed to supply oxygen and nutrients to the retinal pigment epithelium and retina.
text: If the continuous congestion in the blood vessel system of the choroid causes pressure damage to its fine blood vessels (capillaries) and a continuous leakage of fluid in the direction of the adjacent Bruch's membrane and retinal pigment epithelium, the resulting damage in the pigment epithelium, which can be seen on funducsopy or retinal imaging, is referred to as pachychoroid pigment epitheliopathy (PPE).
