| Popis: | PURPOSE: To describe the indocyanine green angiographic pattern of retinal pigment epithelium tears in the setting of age-related macular degeneration compared with the fluorescein angiographic features. METHODS: Twelve consecutive patients (12 eyes) with a retinal pigment epithelium tear underwent simultaneous indocyanine green angiography and fluorescein angiography with the confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope. The findings for the two modes were compared. RESULTS: Choroidal neovascular membrane was evident beneath the rolled retinal pigment epithelium on indocyanine green angiograms in 11(92%) of 12 eyes: a focal neovascular membrane was apparent in five (42%) of 12 eyes, whereas a plaque neovascular membrane was seen in six (50%) of 12 eyes. In comparison, fluorescein angiography demonstrated late leakage as a result of occult choroidal neovascular membrane in nine (82%) of 11 eyes but no well-defined choroidal neovascular membrane. CONCLUSIONS: Indocyanine green angiography is superior to fluorescein angiography for imaging choroidal neovascularization in cases of retinal pigment epithelium tear and may serve as an important adjunct to indocyanine green–guided laser treatment in selected cases. |
