Indocyanine green angiography of optic nerve head melanocytoma.
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.
