We observed a trend of pachydrusen appearing in conjunction with PHS in PCV or PNV. Frequent localization of new drusen to these choroidal lesions was observed over long-term follow-up. PHS may be a form of late-staining "forme fruste" drusen, possibly associated with micro-ischemic changes to the choriocapillaris.
