Massive Hemorrhagic Retinal Pigment Epithelial Detachment (PED) Secondary to Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV)

Massive hemorrhagic retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED) secondarytopolypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), pre and post surgery.

Fig1. 24 mm SS-OCT image before surgery demonstrated the subretinal hemorrhage (green asterisk) and elevation of RPE temporaltothe macula (yellow asterisk).

Fig2. 24 mm SS-OCT image taken 1 day after surgery proved flattening of PED, a double-layer sign, and choroidal excavation together with mild subretinal fluid in the macula.

Patient underwent PPV combined with subretinal injection of tPA, intravitreous injection of anti-VEGF medicine, and perfluoropropane tamponade.

Case reports from American Journal of Ophthalmology (AJO).

All OCT images in the report were captured by BMizar, a 400KHz speed SS-OCT from TowardPi. 24 mm width and 6 mm depth accommodated very well for large size massive PED.
