PG - 97-104 LID - 10.1097/APO.0b013e31823e5a95 [doi] AB - Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a condition characterized by multiple, recurrent, serosanguineous pigment epithelium detachment and neurosensory retinal detachment due to abnormal choroidal polypoidal lesions. Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy is particularly prevalent in Asians and occurs in up to 30% of patients presenting with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. In recent years, various treatment modalities have been described in the literature for the treatment of PCV.
