  • Title: Diagnostic indocyanine green angiography in preeclampsia.
    Author: Valluri S, Adelberg DA, Curtis RS, Olk RJ.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1996 Nov; 122(5):672-7. PubMed ID: 8909206.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To determine the role of the choroidal vasculature in the pathogenesis of exudative retinal detachments in preeclampsia using indocyanine green angiography. METHODS: We reviewed both fluorescein and indocyanine green angiographic findings for four patients with preeclampsia. RESULTS: Indocyanine green angiographic findings in patients with preeclampsia include nonperfusion in the early phases of the angiogram and staining of the choroidal vasculature with subretinal leakage in the late phases of the angiogram and multiple punctate areas of blocked fluorescence. CONCLUSION: Indocyanine green angiography indicates that damage to the choroidal vasculature leads to many of the retinal changes seen in preeclampsia.
