Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy

Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy in Taiwanese Patients

“…However, in eyes with neovascular AMD, hemorrhagic pattern was the most common (54.4%), followed by exudative pattern (39.7%) and retinal pigment epithelium degeneration (5.9%). Our findings were similar to those of previous reports 13…”

“…In our series, the average age of onset of PCV was significantly younger than in neovascular AMD. This finding was consistent with previous reports by Yannuzzi et al5,7 Other demographic features of PCV in the current study were consistent with previous Asian reports: male predominance (71.4%), unilateral involvement (91.8%), and macular location (79.2%) 11,13,18,19. However, there is a female preponderance, bilateral involvement, and peripapillary location in whites 5,7.…”

Clinical features, management and visual outcome of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy in Indian patients

“…[2] The bilateral involvement of 4.5% in this series is less than that reported in other Asian ethnic groups (24% in Koreans,[1422] 10% in Japanese cohorts). [5] The high incidence of macular polyps (74.5%) in this series is again consistent with the observations made in other Asian ethnic groups. [5101114]…”

Clinical Features of Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy and Visual Outcomes in the Absence of Classic Choroidal Neovascularization

“…Using the terminology of the Japanese criteria, the present study showed that almost three quarters of newly referred patients with definite PCV were men, with 90% of cases being unilateral. These findings are consistent with other published reports from Japan [7, 8, 10, 12], but contrast greatly with US and Belgian series that have found the overwhelming majority of PCV patients to be women [4, 11] with 39% having unilateral disease in one report [11]. …”
