Pachychoroid Neovasculopathy Disguising as Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treated by Spironolactone and Anti-VEGF Combination Therapy [PDF]
Nonresponse of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy can often be attributed to misdiagnosis, and pathologies mimicking AMD might require different therapeutic concepts.

Comparison of one-year outcomes between aflibercept and brolucizumab for treatment-naïve pachychoroid neovasculopathy [PDF]
Pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV) is characterized by increased choroidal thickness, choroidal hyperpermeability, and fluid accumulation. Given its distinct pathophysiology, PNV requires management with anti-VEGF therapy, as its treatment response ...

Characteristics of pachychoroid neovasculopathy. [PDF]
AbstractRecently, several research groups have reported a newly recognized clinical entity of choroidal neovascularization, termed pachychoroid neovasculopathy. However, its characteristics have yet to be well described. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of pachychoroid neovasculopathy regardless of ...

Two-Thirds Dose Photodynamic Therapy for Pachychoroid Neovasculopathy. [PDF]
Pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV) is treated with antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injection and photodynamic therapy (PDT), but no curative treatment has yet been established. We aimed to clarify the treatment results of a reduced dose of PDT for PNV. The subjects were 27 eyes of 27 patients (male:female = 20:7, mean age 58.9 years). PDT,

Scleral Thickness as a Risk Factor for Central Serous Chorioretinopathy and Pachychoroid Neovasculopathy. [PDF]
Abstract Background/Objectives. While the exact pathophysiology of pachychoroid disorders remains unclear, scleral changes inducing increased venous outflow resistance are hypothesized to be involved. This work aims to investigate anterior scleral thickness (AST) as a risk factor for central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and pachychoroid ...
