title: Indocyanine green angiography of optic nerve head melanocytoma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the features of fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography of melanocytoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography is used to assess an optic nerve head melanocytoma in a 45-year-old female.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Fluorescein angiography revealed increased vascularity on the surface, with staining around the lesion in the late stages. The lesion was hypofluorescent in all stages of indocyanine green angiography.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Indocyanine green angiography is helpful in identifying the benign nature of the lesion by showing hypofluorescence, indicating lack of vascularity in the tumor.
