OCT in PACHYCHOROIDAL VASCULOPATHY

[@katebirch40]

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:28 Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) was initially considered a variant of AMD but is now classified as part of the pachychoroid spectrum. 01:08 Suspect PCV in AMD cases when you see reddish-orange subretinal nodules, significant exudation, and a lack of response to anti-VEGF therapy. 02:03 PCV is characterized by polyp-shaped vascular complexes beneath the retinal pigment epithelium, often associated with branching vascular networks. 02:59 On OCT, PCV presents with a large pigment epithelial detachment and a smaller one containing hyper-reflective material, representing the branching vascular network supplying polyps. 05:31 The "notch sign" between pigment epithelial detachments can indicate the presence of polypoidal lesions in PCV. 05:59 PCV polypoidal lesions appear as round or oval cavities with hyper-reflective borders. The "double layer sign" can be seen but is not specific to PCV. 08:08 Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography can highlight choroidal vascular details in PCV cases, revealing distinct nodular polyp lesions in the first six minutes of the ICG.
