摘要
Purpose: Idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (IPCV) is a distinct clinical entity characterized by an edematous maculopathy and typical choroidal vascular change. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for diagnosing of this disease. Methods: 4 patients affected by IPVC (mean age 71-84 years) underwent biomicroscopy with a three mirror conctact lens, fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and OCT (Humphrey Zeiss) scan. Results: in all 4 cases OCT tomograms acquired at the location of the typical choroidal abnormalities demonstrated by ICGA, revealed a characteristic hyper-reflectivity in the choroidal layers. Conclusion: ICGA is essential to diagnose IPVC, but OCT may be able to identify characteristic reflectivity patterns.
