Definition
An alternative spelling or variant term for the choroid, the highly vascular layer of the eye situated between the sclera (white of the eye) and the retina.
Etymology
From Greek chorion (membrane) + -oid (resembling), with variant spelling from chorioid reflecting older English medical terminology.
Kelly Says
The choroid (sometimes spelled 'chorioid') is packed with so many blood vessels that it's one of the most richly supplied tissues in your entire body—it's why eye injuries can bleed so dramatically!
