Abstract

One hundred forty eyes with choroidal neovascularization (ChNV) in age-related macular degeneration were examined with fluorescein and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography. ChNVs covered with subretinal hemorrhage, and ChNVs with retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) detachment were demonstrated at a higher rate and more clearly with ICG angiography than with fluorescein angiography. On the other hand, ChNVs in serous retinal detachment, and in disciform lesions were demonstrated more clearly with fluorescein angiography than with ICG angiography. These results show that ICG angiography is valuable for delineating "occult ChNVs" with subretinal hemorrhage or RPE detachment in age-related macular degeneration.
