  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We evaluated 10 eyes of idiopathic polypoidal vasculopathy using an optical coherence tomograph (OCT).We paid particular attention to the tips of branching vascular networks showing polypoidal dilatations as confirmed by indocyanine green angiography. When seen by OCT, these tips showed dome-like elevation of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) with moderate reflex or nodular appearances posterior to RPE. The findings seems to show that abnormal vessels in this disease entity are acually choroidal neovascularizations with polypoidal dilatations at their tips located between the Bruch's membrane and RPE. It also appeared that this disease is a peculiar form of age-related macular degeneration.
