  • Title: [The use of indocyanine green angiography in diagnosis of occult choroidal neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration].
    Author: Kałuzny JJ.
    Journal: Klin Oczna; 1999; 101(5):355-9. PubMed ID: 10714074.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To determine whether scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) indocyanine green (ICG) angiography may be useful in detecting occult or ill-defined choroidal neovascularization (CNV). MATERIAL AND METHODS: ICG angiography using SLO was performed in 28 patients (29 eyes). Indication for this examination was occult or ill-defined CNV on fluorescein angiography. RESULTS: Well-defined hyperfluorescent lesions on ICG angiography were found in 16 eyes (55.2%). Three morphological types of CNV were noted: plaque (82.8%), focal spots (10.4%), combination lesions (3.4%). In one case no manifestations of CNV were observed in ICG angiography (3.4%). In 4 eyes (13.8%) we performed successful laseroterapy of CNV. CONCLUSIONS: ICG angiography performed using SLO is a valuable tool in determining borders of occult and ill-defined CNV.
