چکیده
Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy has also been described in different pathological conditions including central serous chorioretinopathy(5), circumscribed choroidal hemangioma(6); melanocytoma of the optic nerve(7); pathological myopia and staphyloma(8); or choroidal osteoma(9). PCV seems to behave more like a neovasculopathy occurring in a variety of different diagnoses than a distinct abnormality of the inner choroidal vasculature(10)

Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy masquerading as neovascular age-related macular degeneration refractory to ranibizumab.
PURPOSE To report a neovascular age-related macular degeneration pattern refractory to ranibizumab. DESIGN Retrospective, observational case series. METHODS Between March and May 2009, cases with neovascular age-related macular degeneration refractory to ranibizumab were investigated with indocyanine green angiography. We identified 12 eyes of 12 patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopa...
متن کاملPolypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.
BACKGROUND Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a unique form of occult choroidal neovascular membrane. The clinical presentation and angiographic findings distinguish idiopathic PCV from other known neovascular and choroidal degenerative disorders. The characteristic morphology of PCV includes the presence of a branching network of inner choroidal vessels with terminal aneurysmal dilatio...

BACKGROUND Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy is a variant of choroidal neovascularization and neovascular age related macular degeneration presenting with hemorrhagic and exudative changes within the macula and/or peripapillary region leading to vision loss. In contrast to neovascular age related macular degeneration, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy has differing clinical manifestations and t...

Purpose. To show the long-term results of intravitreal ranibizumab combined with photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). Methods. We analyzed the progress of two patients for 36 and 58 months, respectively. We only used PDT for the treatment in the area of the active PCV or "hot spot" evident on the indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). The spot ...
متن کاملAssociation of genetic variation on chromosome 9p21 with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy and neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
PURPOSE Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) contains aneurismal morphologic and histopathologic feature and it is considered to be a possible distinct entity from neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In this study, the association of identified risk variants for intracranial aneurysm on chromosome 9p21 with PCV and neovascular AMD in a Chinese Han population was investigated....
