Abstract

Purpose

To record the coexistence of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) with other rare fundus diseases in a Chinese population.

Method

In this retrospective hospital-based study, a chart review of 861 patients with newly diagnosed PCV was performed. The clinical features of rare fundus comorbidities of PCV were recorded.

Results

Five eyes of 5 patients aged 63.4 ± 11.22 years (0.58%) had PCV coexisting with other fundus diseases in the same eye. Of the 5 PCV patients, 2 (0.23%) had myelinated nerve fiber, 2 (0.23%) had branch retinal vein occlusion, and 1 (0.12%) had retinal angiomatous proliferation.

Conclusion

We reported rare fundus comorbidities of PCV in a large Chinese cohort. These comorbidities included myelinated nerve fiber, branch retinal vein occlusion and retinal angiomatous proliferation. The combination might constitute an accidental occurrence.
