AB  - Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a disease that was first described 
      almost 30 years ago. The disease is characterised by alterations of the posterior 
      pole such as serous or serosanguineous detachments of the retina or the retinal 
      pigment epithelium (RPE) around the optic nerve or in the central macula. The 
      optimal therapeutic regime remains unclear. There are several studies suggesting 
      that patients who do not respond satisfactorily to intravitreal anti-VEGF 
      treatment are suffering from PCV which can be detected by indocyanine green 
      angiography. Alternative therapeutic options consist of photodynamic therapy or 
      laser photocoagulation for extrafoveal lesions.
