title: [Idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy associated with central retinal vein occlusion].
abstract: We present the case of a 54-year-old man with a previous history of central retinal vein occlusion in the right eye, who developed an idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy in the right eye and an epiretinal membrane in the left eye. The patient's medical history disclosed arterial hypertension controlled with medical treatment. Although idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy has been associated with several conditions, this is the first time that this entity has been described in the literature in association with central retinal vein occlusion.
