Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a relatively new clinical entity characterized by multiple recurrent serous or hemorrhagic detachments of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and retina in the posterior pole of the eye. PCV was formerly reported as a peculiar hemorrhagic disorder of the macula, characterized by recurrent subretinal and subretinal pigment epithelial bleeding found in middle-aged black women (1–4). Yanuzzi initially suggested the term “idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy” (5) because the pathogenesis was unknown, but in recent years this condition has simply been called “polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.”
