[Diagnosis of tumor-like fundus changes by means of a combination of echography, infrared photography and fluorescein angiography (author's transl)].
Using a combination of echography, infrared photography and fluorescein angiography in tumor simulating changes of the fundus an optimum combination of these diagnostic methods was achieved. The echography allows exact measurements of the prominence and in lesions exceeding 1.1 to 1.5 mm also a tissue differentiation. By infrared photography melanin could be differentiated from the bloodpigments and lipofuscin and the extension of pigmented tissues could be revealed. Fluoresceinangiography visualizes the vascular pattern and the permeability of the vessels of tumors or pseudotumors. Up to now 100 cases with tumorlike fundus lesions were subjected to this combined examination method and many of these cases preserved from enucleation.
