Type 1 (Sub-Retinal Pigment Epithelial) Neovascularization in Central Serous Chorioretinopathy Masquerading as Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Some patients presenting with Type 1 neovascularization may have clinical and multimodal imaging findings more consistent with long-standing CSC than with age-related macular degeneration. These patients are more likely to be younger, men, have thicker choroids, and have a higher prevalence of polypoidal neovasculopathy than those patients with Type 1 neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration. Proper identification of these patients may have implications for their natural course and management.
