The relapses of the PED showed an apparent association with recent steroid exposure. Multimodal imaging demonstrated the characteristics of pachychoroid diseases with pachyvessels and choroidal hyperpermeability. The PED and SRF responded well to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy, especially aflibercept, but could also be spontaneously resolved without anti-VEGF. No evidence of choroidal neovascularization or polyps could be identified by serial FFA, ICGA, and OCTA even when the retinal pigment epithelium was completely flat with no obscuration by PED.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A large PED with little SRF could present signs of CSC. This clinical presentation could be confused with neovascular AMD, and multimodal retinal imaging was crucial to guide correct diagnosis and management.<\/jats:p>\n
