Preferential Locations of Polypoidal Lesions and Adjacent Pigment Epithelium Detachments in Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy in a Japanese Population
The distribution of polypoidal lesions and PEDs in PCV eyes suggests that vortex vein abnormalities may contribute to its pathogenesis. Differences between pachychoroid and non-pachychoroid groups indicate distinct underlying pathologies. Assessing lesion locations relative to vortex veins may improve our understanding of PCV pathology and guide tailored treatments.
