The left eye of a 71-year-old man with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. (A) At baseline, a fundus photograph shows a serous retinal detachment (SRD) involving the fovea (small arrows) and a serous pigment epithelial detachment (PED) (large arrows). (B) A horizontal optical coherence tomography (OCT) image shows a subfoveal SRD (large arrow) and PED temporal to the fovea (small arrow). (C) indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) shows polypoidal lesions (small arrows) and a branching vascular network (BVN) (large arrows). The planimetric size of the BVN is 4.33 mm². (D and E) One year after the first injection of ranibizumab, a fundus photograph and OCT shows resolution of the SRD and PED. (F) ICGA shows regression of polypoidal lesions and no increase in the size of the BVN (4.42 mm²). (G) Two years after the first injection, a fundus photograph shows some elevated orange-red lesions (arrows). (H) A horizontal OCT image shows a recurrent subfoveal SRD (large arrow) and a PED temporal to the fovea (small arrow). (I) ICGA shows progression of the polypoidal lesions and the size of the BVN (5.75 mm²).
