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.
