Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV), also known as posterior uveal bleeding syndrome, is a condition characterized by chronic, multiple, recurrent serosanguinous retinal pigment epithelium detachments secondary to an abnormal network of underlying choroidal vessels. Multiple areas of subretinal hemorrhage are visible in these photos. They are surrounded by areas of yellow subretinal material which likely represents old hemorrhage.
