Abstract. Purpose:To report a case who was diagnosed with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy after peroral overdosage of sildenafil citrate(Viagra®). Case:A 67-year-old male presented with metamorphopsia in the left eye. He had been treated with warfarin and digoxin for atrial fibrillation since 2 years before. Metamorphopsia developed 2 months after repeated peroral Viagra® of 150 mg each. Findings:His corrected visual acuity was 1.2 right and 0.7 left. The left macula showed serous retinal detachment. Left visual acuity decreased to 0.15 three months later. Fluorescein angiography led to the diagnosis of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. Visual acuity improved to 0.3 after triamcinolone-assisted photodynamic therapy. The macula turned into scarred lesion. Conclusion:Although no causal relationship is clear between ingestion of Viagra® and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, there is a possibility that the former may have acted as trigger to the latter.
