title: Pachychoroid neovasculopathy in a male patient: a case report.
abstract: Pachychoroid neovasculopathy is a form of type 1 (subretinal pigment epithelium) neovascularization characterized by the involvement of dilated choroidal vessels in areas of increased choroidal thickness. This disease was originally described in three white female patients. Here we report the multimodal evaluation of a clinical case of PN in a white male patient.
