Abstract

Pachychoroid disease is defined as attenuation of the chorio-capillaries overlying dilated choroidal veins with progressive retinal pigment epithelium dysfunction and neovascularisation. It refers to a group of disorders namely pigment epitheliopathy, central serous retinopathy (CSCR), neovasculopathy and polipoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), all arising from an abnormal thickened choroid and hyperpermeable large choroidal vessels. Multimodal imaging has described its detail morphological features with functional implications.

The aims and objectives of the study was to identify the role of ICGA in patients with pachychoroid disease.

We retrospectively analyzed 45 of such patients who underwent ICGA. 10 patients with atypical ARMD, 20 patients having SD-OCT features of pachychoroid and 15 patients having chronic CSCR.

Out of 45 patients 18 eyes showed PCV.

The role of ICGA is of great important in describing pachychoroid.
