title: [Idiopathic polypoidal vasculopathy: 2 case reports].
abstract: Idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (IPVC), is a particular vascular abnormality of the inner choroid, composed of 2 components, a network of branching vessels of variable dimension, terminating in an aneurysm-like enlargement with sometimes episodic serosanguineous detachment of the retinal pigment epithelium and neurosensory retina. We report two cases of female patients with a peripapillary location of IPVC. None of the eyes had any drusen characteristic of age-related macular degeneration.
