TI  - Neovascularization associated with large retinal pigment epithelial detachment in 
      elderly Korean patients: subdivision according to indocyanine green angiographic 
      features.
PG  - 216-23
AB  - PURPOSE: In Korean patients, to subdivide the neovascular forms of age-related 
      macular degeneration (AMD) associated with large retinal pigment epithelial 
      detachment (PED), according to the indocyanine green angiographic features. 
      METHODS: Indocyanine green angiograms (ICGA) of 67 elderly patients (72 eyes) who 
      presented with a PED of at least 1 disc diameter were evaluated retrospectively. 
      RESULTS: Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and typical choroidal 
      neovascularization (CNV)-associated PEDs were identified in 18 eyes (25%) and 19 
      eyes (26%), respectively. In ten eyes (13.9%), the exact type of 
      neovascularization, whether PCV or CNV, could not be determined. Pure serous PEDs 
      were identified in seven eyes (10%). The remaining 18 eyes (25%) were classified 
      as having retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP)-associated PED based upon the 
      angiographic findings of vascular connections between the retinal vasculature and 
      the neovascular complex. CONCLUSIONS: Three subset groups of PCV, CNV, and RAP 
      were present with similar frequency in neovascularized AMD with a large PED in 
      these Korean patients. In particular, RAP, previously thought to be rare in Asian 
      patients, was found to be present with considerable frequency.
