Özet

Pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV) is a form of type 1 neovascularization characterized by dilated choroidal vessels in areas of increased choroidal thickness. In this article, we describe a patient diagnosed with PNV. A 50-year-old male with a 2-month history of blurred vision was referred to our clinic. His best corrected visual acuity was 20/100 in both eyes. Retinal pigment epithelium alterations, which were more prominent in fundus autofluorescence, were detected in both eyes on dilated fundus examination. Characteristic findings of PNV were detected in fundus fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and optical coherence tomography angiography.
