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.
对140例年龄相关性黄斑变性伴脉络膜新生血管(ChNV)的患者进行了荧光素和吲哚菁绿(ICG)血管造影检查。与荧光素血管造影相比,ICG血管造影能更清晰、更高效地显示覆盖有视网膜下出血的ChNV以及伴有视网膜色素上皮(RPE)脱离的ChNV。另一方面,荧光素血管造影比ICG血管造影能更清晰地显示浆液性视网膜脱离和盘状病变中的ChNV。这些结果表明,ICG血管造影对于描绘年龄相关性黄斑变性中伴有视网膜下出血或RPE脱离的“隐匿性ChNV”具有重要价值。
