Abstract

Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a common choroidal disease in the Asian population including Vietnam and is characterized by subretinal red-orange nodules, pigmented epithelium detachment, and massive subretinal hemorrhage. The recent focus on PCV in Vietnam can be attributed to advancements in PCV diagnosis and treatment. However, there is a scarcity of published literature and clinical data on PCV in the Vietnamese population, highlighting a key knowledge gap in this region. In order to address this gap, we gathered the opinions of experienced clinicians and retinal experts in Vietnam and reviewed available medical literature with the aim of: (i) providing an overview of PCV in the Vietnamese population—in terms of epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and management; (ii) tailoring international/national guidelines for the diagnosis and management of PCV, in line with available resources and medical equipment in Vietnam; and (iii) identifying gaps in clinical data in order to guide future PCV research in Vietnam and other countries with similar clinical conditions. The present review will enable healthcare providers and researchers to gain insight into current clinical practices and the limitations of PCV management in Vietnam and provide optimal and effective solutions.
