Toward a Specific Classification of Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy: Idiopathic Disease or Subtype of Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Abstract

Our study demonstrated clinical and statistically significant differences between idiopathic PCV and NV-AMD-related polyps that could be considered as distinct entities. Although they share some similarities, mainly the sub-RPE location, the ability to identify a specific clinical pattern suggests a more specific therapeutic approach for these two entities.
