  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We examined 9 eyes of 7 cases with idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy by indocyanine green angiography. Early-phase angiogram showed branched networks of choroidal neovascularization in areas of impaired choroidal circulation. Middle-to late-phase angiogram showed either choroidal neovascular membrane or polypoidal dilatations. After laser photocoagulation of choroidal neovascularizations, polypoidal lesions recurred in 8 of 9 treated eyes. After an average of 45 months, the visual acuity decreased by 2 lines or more in 7 eyes. The findings show that laser photocoagulation may delay the progression of lesions but that final visual acuity may be poor due to frequent recurrences and involvement of the fovea.
