Indocyanine green-mediated photothrombosis for choroidal neovascularization in angioid streaks.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of indocyanine green-mediated photothrombosis on choroidal neovascularization secondary to angioid streaks.

Methods: Six eyes of 5 patients with an average age of 70 years were diagnosed to have subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to angioid streaks. Therapy was indicated if choroidal neovascularization was considered to be active, according to evidence of fluorescein leakage on angiograms, as well as presence of intra- or subretinal fluid on optical coherence tomography.

Retinal angiopathy and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.

Purpose: To describe the clinical and angiographic features of patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, exudative detachment of the macula, and an associated retinal microangiopathy.

Methods: Case series.

Results: Four patients with chronic exudative detachment of the macula with a variable degree of lipid deposition are described.
