Dynamic indocyanine green imaging uses a scanning laser ophthalmoscope and a fluorescent dye to produce movies of the dye-filling pattern in the retina and choroid of the eye. It is used for evaluating choroidal neovascularization. Movies are examined to identify the anatomy of the pathology for planning treatment and to evaluate progression or response to treatment. The popularity of this appr...

We compared indocyanine green (ICG) and fluorescein angiography for evaluation of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Cast preparations of CNV induced in monkey eyes by laser photocoagulation were correlated with ICG and fluorescein angiographies of the same CNV formations. Fluorescein angiography was more effective, in general, than ICG angiography in detecting CNV; however, CNVs with subretin...

PURPOSE To evaluate demographic findings, ocular manifestations, vascular and morphological changes by fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography and optical coherence tomography of retina and choroid in cases of ocular Behçet's disease. METHODS Medical records were reviewed to obtain data from 16 patients with Behçet's disease who were in inactive phase. All patients underwent ophthalmic ...

BACKGROUND Nipple-sparing techniques have improved the aesthetics of reconstruction following mastectomy, but nipple necrosis complicates up to 37% of procedures, distressing patients, delaying adjuvant therapy, and compromising outcomes. No method reliably detects nipple necrosis better than clinical assessment of tissue perfusion. We prospectively assessed the accuracy of intraoperative indoc...

BACKGROUND Syphilitic chorioretinitis can produce severe vision loss. However, the clinical manifestations of syphilitic chorioretinitis are still unclear, particularly during different stages. Herein, we will present our diagnostic technique for syphilitic chorioretinitis. METHODS This retrospective study recruited 109 cases; we performed a clinical evaluation including case history, serolog...

PURPOSE To report the findings of indocyanine green angiography performed in patients with recurrent ocular toxoplasmosis. METHODS Institutional prospective analysis of 23 eyes from 23 immunocompetent patients with recurrent ocular toxoplasmosis aged between 17 and 41 years. These patients underwent a complete ocular examination including indocyanine green angiography. RESULTS Multiple hypo...

We report a case of a Caucasian female who developed active polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) at the edge of a stable choroidal nevus and was successfully treated with verteporfin photodynamic therapy. No active polyp was detectable on indocyanine green angiography 2 years after treatment, and good vision was maintained. Indocyanine green angiography is a useful investigation to diagnose ...

Plastic and reconstructive surgery relies on the knowledge of angiosomes in the raising of microsurgical flaps. Growing interest in muscle-sparing perforator flaps calls for reliable methods to assess the clinical feasibility of new donor sites in anatomical studies. Several injection techniques are known for the evaluation of vascular territories. Indocyanine green-based fluorescence angiograp...
