Abstract: Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is increasingly recognized as an important cause of exudative maculopathy in Asians as against Wet age-related macular degeneration in Caucasians. A panel of retinal experts methodically evaluated pertinent updated literature on PCV with thorough PubMed/MEDLINE search. Based on this, the panel agreed upon and proposed the current consensus recommendations in the diagnosis (clinical and imaging), management and follow-up schedule of PCV. Diagnosis of PCV should be based o… Show more

“…Umaya et al [24] observed 94% polyps were macular and 9% were peripapillary in their study on 14 eyes. Anantharaman et al [9] also reported 45% being subfoveal 18% juxta foveal polyps and 18% peripapillary polyps in their study on 45 eyes in Indian patients. In contrast, studies from Europeans showed an equal distribution of macular and peripapillary location [25].…”

“…OCT and ICGA features of lesion characteristics were further defined as described as in the report by Anantharaman et al [9] and is shown in Fig 1. BVN (Branching vascular network) was defined on early phase of the ICGA (first 1 min) as a distinct network of vessels within the choroid termed as branching vascular network. Polyp was defined as small hyperfluorescent spots, isolated or in clusters that become visible soon after the PCV network is discernible on the ICGA.…”

“…The choice of treatment in PCV depends on location of the polypoidal network, extent of network and associated clinical features, which primarily involves intra-vitreal anti-VEGF therapy with or without photodynamic therapy and thermal laser. [1] We present a rare case of Asian woman having PCV who developed a FTMH following treatment with intravitreal anti-VEGF injections which spontaneously closed on further course of treatment with anti-VEGF.…”

“…38 A literature review by a panel of retinal experts noted that OCT is an excellent adjuvant for the diagnosis of PCV, especially when ICGA is unavailable. 39 The experts recommended suspecting PCV if any of the following is seen on OCT: a thumb-like polypoidal lesion or sharppeaked PED; a tomographic notch in the PED; a hyporeflective lumen surrounded by a hyper-reflective ring attached to the undersurface of the RPE; or the doublelayer sign. Classical PCV features such as a tall-peaked PED, a notched PED, the double-layer sign, and thumblike polypoidal lesions can differentiate PCV from AMD to a large extent.…”
