[Indocyanine green angiography in central serous chorioretinopathy].
OBJECTIVE
To know the results of indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) and approach its pathogenetic mechanisms.


METHODS
20 cases of CSC were examined by scanning laser ophthalmoscope to perform blue laser beam examination, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography.


RESULTS
(1) The blue laser beam: The elevation lesions of the sensory retinal and retinal pigment epithelial detachment were clearly found. (2) ICGA: In the early phase, choroidal delayed filling (95.0%), choroidal hyper-perfusion (80.0%), choriocapillary dilatation, and in the late phase, hyperfluorescent spots (95.0%), diffuse choroidal hyperfluorescence (77.5%), abnormal fluorescence over vortex vein were found. (3) FFA demonstrated the hyperfluorescence of the choroidal background and the optic disc.


CONCLUSIONS
CSC patients have obvious choroidal circulatory disorder and the ICGA is a good method for the study of the pathogenetic mechanisms of the CSC and its therapeutic evaluation.
