The disciform response is characterized by its many manifestations determined by subretinal neovascularization. Many advances were made clinically [in humans] and with histopathologic correlation, but a clear understanding of the pathogenesis of subretinal neovascularization was not yet achieved at the basic level. The need to determine the pathogenesis and understand the rationale for therapy argues strongly for the development of a suitable experimental model [rhesus monkey] of subretinal neovascularizaton. The macula is much more predisposed to the development of subretinal neovascularization than is the area nasal to the nerve head or the periphery. Spontaneous hemorrhages in experimentally induced subretinal neovascularization occurred, underscoring the clinical relevance of this model system. The basis for future morphologic correlation and subsequent manipulations of this model system was provided.
