[Indocyanine green choroidal angiography in macular hemorrhage of uncertain origin].
OBJECTIVE
To search for the underlying pathology of macular hemorrhage of uncertain origin with Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA).


METHODS
18 Patients (20 eyes) were tested and analyzed using Indocyanine Green Choroidal Angiography (ICGCA).


RESULTS
ICGCA clearly demonstrated the underlying pathology of macular hemorrhage as the choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration (14 eyes), abnormality of retinal vascular (3 eyes) and accidental macular hemorrhage (3 eyes).


CONCLUSIONS
The results showed that ICGCA is very usefull for detecting the underlying pathology of macular hemorrhage of uncertain origin.
