AB  - Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a condition characterized by multiple, 
      recurrent, serosanguineous pigment epithelial detachments, and neurosensory 
      retinal detachments due to abnormal aneurysmal neovascular lesions. It is 
      generally considered as a variant of neovascular age-related macular 
      degeneration, but there are some differences between the clinical presentation, 
      natural history, and treatment response between patients with PCV and typical 
      neovascular age-related macular degeneration patients. Over the past decade, new 
      research and technological advancements have greatly improved our understanding 
      of the PCV disease process and the management of PCV. This review aims to 
      summarize the recent research findings to highlight the epidemiology, 
      pathogenesis, genetics, the application of various diagnostic tools for PCV, and 
      the available treatment options for PCV.
