To report the unusual occurrence of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in a patient with Doynes familial honeycomb choroiditis (DFHC) and its course after laser treatment.Interventional case report.Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography guided laser was performed on active polypoidal lesions.A 45-year-old man with a 15-year history of bilateral DFCH and a scarred macular choroidal neovascularization in the right eye (RE) was referred to us with exudative maculopathy in the left eye (LE). His best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/800 in the RE and 20/40 in the LE. ICG angiography revealed a picture that was characteristic for PCV in both eyes. ICG guided argon green laser was performed on the active parapapillary and perifoveal polypoidal lesions of the LE. Eight months after the laser photocoagulation treatment, the macular exudative lesions had subsided and the BCVA improved to 20/20. The favorable anatomic and functional results have remained stable over 3 years.This is, to our knowledge, the first case of a PCV that occurred secondary to DFHC.
