Chapter 10 – Pachychoroid

The advent of new technologies offering the possibility of analyzing both quantitative and qualitatively choroidal tissue led to new diagnostic approaches to traditional and newly described entities. The purpose of the present chapter is to summarize the key findings on the multimodal imaging approach of pachychoroid pigment epitheliopathy and neovasculopathy.
