Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy Occurring in the Context of Large Colloid Drusen

Thibaud Mathis et al. Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. .

Abstract

The authors report, for the first time, an association between large colloid drusen (LCD) and choroidal neovascularization in a 58-year-old man. Multimodal imaging confirmed the diagnosis of LCD in both eyes and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy in the left eye. The patient was treated with monthly intravitreal injections of aflibercept (Eylea; Regeneron, Tarrytown, NY). The authors hypothesize that these deposits are probably associated with retinal pigment epithelium dysfunction and could thus lead to delayed neovascularization and atrophy.
