[Indocyanine green angiography and occult neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration].
BACKGROUND
Since early 90th, infra-red angiography using indocyanine green, is an additional examination done after fluorescein angiography (FA) very often used in ARMD allowing deep retinal layers and choroid analysis. ICG angiography increases occult new vessels delimitation poorly defined by FA, thus extending the scope of therapy. Clinical applications:


CONCLUSIONS
ICG angiography, with better choroidal visualization, is nowadays of great importance in ARMD exploration.
