PACHYCHOROID DISEASE ASSOCIATED WITH GEOGRAPHIC ATROPHY AND SUBRETINAL DRUSENOID DEPOSITS.

PURPOSE: To report an atypical case of pachychoroid spectrum disease associated with subretinal drusenoid deposits and geographic atrophy.

METHODS: Case report.

RESULTS: A 67-year-old woman presented for a routine examination. Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Based on fundus examination and multimodal imaging findings, the presence of subretinal drusenoid deposits and geographic atrophy was seen in the right eye, which was associated with pachychoroid. The left eye revealed two active polypoidal lesions suggestive of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy with subretinal drusenoid deposits, geographic atrophy, and a thick choroid with dilated outer choroidal vessels. She underwent an intravitreal injection of ranibizumab followed by focal laser to the polypoidal lesion in the left eye. At 3-month posttreatment, her best-corrected visual acuity was maintained at 20/20 in the left eye, with a good anatomical outcome.

CONCLUSION: This case highlights a previously unreported unique association of a pachychoroid disease spectrum with geographic atrophy and with subretinal drusenoid deposits.
