Silent polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy in a patient with angioid streaks

Vasculopatia polipoidal de coróide quiescente em um paciente com estrias angióides

ABSTRACT

We present a case of silent polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in a patient with angioid streaks. PCV was detected during a routine ophthalmic examination and confirmed by fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, and optical coherence tomography. After 2 years of follow-up, the PCV remained silent without any complications. We report this rare coexistence and review literature on this topic.
