“…Na angio grafia com indocianina verde, a presença de lesão hi percianescente observada nos primeiros 6 minutos do exame é considerada um dos principais critérios diag nósticos de VPC 5 . Já a presença de descolamento do EPR em U invertido, sinal da dupla camada e descolamento do EPR multilobulado estão entre os sinais tomográficos sugestivos de VPC 2,5 . A caracte rística elevação do EPR em U invertido é considera da o sinal tomográfico mais frequente em pacientes com VPC.…”

“…A vasculopatia polipoidal da coroide (VPC) pode ser considerada um subtipo da degeneração macular relacionada à idade (DMRI) neovascular caracteri zada por neovascularização de coroide do tipo 1 asso ciada a uma rede vascular ramificada com dilatações aneurismáticas 1 . A angiografia com indocianina verde (AICV) continua sendo o método diagnóstico padrão ouro, mas a tomografia de coerência óptica (OCT) é um recurso propedêutico mais amplamente disponí vel e cujos achados, como o descolamento do epitélio pigmentar da retina em U invertido, podem ser bas tante sugestivos 2,3 . Classicamente referida como ten do maior frequência em asiáticos, a VPC também tem alta prevalência no Brasil.…”

“…FFA is beneficial in evaluating macular edema, age-related macular degeneration, central serous chorioretinopathy, and inherited macular dystrophies [42,43]. The standard fundus camera captures images of 30-50 degrees of the retina; however, wide-field imaging efficiently assesses peripheral vascular leakage, peripheral vascular loops, and capillary nonperfusion areas present in retinal vein occlusion, proliferative sickle cell retinopathy and diabetic retinopathy [44].…”

Macular Diseases - An Update [Working Title]

Since its inception, retinal imaging has been vital in documenting and understanding macular diseases. The early thinking was to document retinal pathology as it became possible to visualize the retina using an ophthalmoscope. This reasoning quickly evolved into the need to monitor disease evolution and treatment changes using digital images. With further rapid advancement in imaging technology, it has become possible to visualize and image at a subcellular level, the macula, in health and disease. Technological advances have resulted in the scanning laser ophthalmoscope, optical coherence tomography, and adaptive optics incorporation into imaging. The “dye” and “non-dye” based evaluation of retinal vasculature has improved our understanding of various macula and retinovascular diseases. The fundus photograph and optical coherence tomography are the most utilized technologies for imaging the macula. With an expected increase in diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration patients, more macular imaging will be done in years to come. Consequently, more macula image data will be available for data analysis using artificial intelligence, improving our predictive ability and personalization. Therefore, macular imaging will assume increasing significance and imaging techniques for the macula should be known and understood. This chapter provides an exhaustive list of common and less-known imaging techniques for macular imaging and an overview of their use in evaluating the macula in clinical practice and research.

“…Polypoidal choroid vasculopathy is featured as choroidal vascular abnormality or neovascularization in the shape of branch vessel network (BVN), which leads to polypoidal lesion (Polyps), pigment epithelium detachment (PED) and subretinal hemorrhage. [1][2][3] PCV causes severe vision loss particularly in Asian and African populations. 4 With the use of indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), the diagnosis of PCV is not challenging in typical cases, 5,6 However, in some clinical trials, diagnostic confusion occurs due to the uncommon manifestations or associated with other disease.…”

Purpose: To report a patient with a subretinal tumor-like lesion observed during vitrectomy for the treatment of vitreous hemorrhage secondary to polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). Observation: A 56-year-old Chinese male was referred to our department for the treatment of vitreous hemorrhage in his left eye. During vitrectomy, a massive tumor-like lesion located at the inferotemporal fundus was observed. Histological examination excluded its malignancy and multimodal imaging confirmed the diagnosis of PCV. Medication was delivered topically and systemically to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) after surgery. The patient was treated by a single intravitreal injection of aflibercept, showing anatomical and functional improvement. Conclusions and Importance: The case documents an uncommon manifestation of PCV. Prompt recognition and appropriate treatment are essential for visual recovery.
