Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy Mimicking as Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is considered one of the disease entities in the pachychoroid spectrum sharing the common finding of abnormally thickened choroid with Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).

Description
Summary:Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is considered one of the disease entities in the pachychoroid spectrum sharing the common finding of abnormally thickened choroid with Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a vascular malformation of the choroid, comprising a network of branching vessels of varying sizes that produce aneurysmal-like enlargements. This disease is generally observed in the macular area. Central serous chorioretinopathy is a retinal disorder characterized by localized serous detachment of the macula. It is secondary to retinal pigment epithelial decomposition and choroidal vascular changes. Fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), Fundus fluorescein angiography, and Indocyanine green angiography (ICG) aid in the diagnosis and differentiation between these two entities. Here, we report a case of middle aged female presented initially with clinical features suggestive of CSCR and later turned out to be a case of PCV.
