OBJECTIVE To classify polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) presenting with both extramacular and macular lesions according to location and clinical manifestations. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 29 eyes presenting with both extramacular and macular PCV lesions by indocyanine green angiography. The patients were classified according to the location of the extramacular lesions and clinical manifestations. RESULTS PCV locations were identified as peripapillary (32.1%), superior (10.7%) or inferior (17.9%) to the optic disc, superior (14.3%) or inferior (7.1%) temporal arcade, temporal to the macula (10.7%), and nasal to the optic disc (7.1%). Clinical manifestations were identified as polyp (10.7%), branching vascular networks (42.9%), pigment epithelial detachment (PED) (17.9%), polyp and branching vascular networks (7.1%), polyp and PED (14.3%), and all three (7.1%). CONCLUSIONS PCV showed extramacular lesions with various clinical manifestations discontinuous from the macular lesions.

D011127 Polyps Discrete abnormal tissue masses that protrude into the lumen of the DIGESTIVE TRACT or the RESPIRATORY TRACT. Polyps can be spheroidal, hemispheroidal, or irregular mound-shaped structures attached to the MUCOUS MEMBRANE of the lumen wall either by a stalk, pedunculus, or by a broad base. Polyp
D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.
