Retinal angiomatous proliferation and pachychoroid.

Abstract

The association between retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) or type 3 choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV) and pachychoroidopathy has been rarely described. Its occurrence would be a consequence of ischemia resulting from loss of the choriocapillaris secondary to compression of the pachyvessels. We report a case of retinal angiomatous proliferation in the context of pachychoroidopathy.
