  • Title: Macular Hole Secondary to Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy.
    Author: Baskaran P, Pan U.
    Journal: Middle East Afr J Ophthalmol; 2017; 24(3):159-161. PubMed ID: 29279658.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) presented with massive submacular hemorrhage (SMH) and macular hole (MH). Spectral domain optical coherence tomography confirmed the presence of MH along with SMH and also revealed an extrafoveal-notched pigment epithelium detachment (PED) suggestive of PCV. Urgent pneumatic displacement with perfluoropropane (C3F8) was done. Indocyanine green angiography done 3 weeks later showed polyps in the superonasal macula corresponding to PED. Extrafoveal polyps were treated with laser photocoagulation. Inverted flap MH surgery was planned but the patient was lost to follow-up.
