Abstract

Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) was first described as subretinal polypoidal vascular lesions associated with serous and hemorrhagic pigment epithelial detachments. Macular telangiectasia (Mac Tel) refers to a heterogenous group of disease entities presenting with incompetence, ectasia, and/or irregular dilatations of the juxtafoveal capillary network of one or both the eyes. Here, we report a rare case presenting with features of PCV and Mac Tel-2 simultaneously. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second reported case to show this rare clinical association. This may point toward an unifying underlying pathophysiologic mechanism, especially in patients with Mac Tel and thick choroid.
