Chorioretinitis is the medical term for inflammation of the retina (→ retinitis ) and the choroid . The term is rarely used upside down as retinochoroiditis. The course of the disease can develop in different ways and ranges from almost no impairment of the patient to complete blindness due to degeneration of the retina.

The disease is often triggered by general infections such as toxoplasmosis or tuberculosis and late syphilis . Bacterial metastatic inflammation is less common. In AIDS patients or immunosuppressed people, chorioretinitis is often caused by the human cytomegalovirus .
