Objective To observe the clinical features of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in Chinese patients.Methods Nine cases (9 eyes ) were examined with fundus examination, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography angiography (ICGA).Results FFA and ICGA showed the branching vascular networks (7 cases) and polyplike dilation at terminals of branches (9 cases), which mainly located in macular area (8 cases) and in peripapillary area (1 case), and which accompanied hemorrhagic or serous pigment epithelial detachment in 7 cases,and 4 of 7 cases had a significant horizontal black-white damarcation line. It definitely differed from fine choroidal neovascularization (CNV).Conclusion PCV in Chinese patients has the cardinal clinical features, i.e., polyplike lesions located mainly in macular area and most cases accompanied by hemorrhagic or serous pigment epithelium detachment.
