Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathies share some clinical presentations with neovascular age-related macular degeneration,but differ in epidemiology and prognosis as well as in the response to treatments.Diagnosis requires the use of indocyanine green angiography.Optical coherence tomography provides more information about the pathophysiology of this disorder. Treatments, including laser photocoagulation, transpupillary thermotherapy,anti-VEGF drug injection and glucocorticoid injection have various degrees of effectiveness.This review highlights advances in the diagnosis and treatment of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.
