title: Indocyanine green augmented transpupillary thermotherapy in the management of choroidal metastasis from breast carcinoma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To demonstrate the efficacy of indocyanine green augmented transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) in the management of choroidal metastasis from breast carcinoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  A retrospective study was performed on 4 women aged 39-59 years with solitary choroidal metastasis from breast carcinoma in whom choroidal metastasis was managed using mTT. All patients had undergone indocyanine green (ICG) augmented TTT using a diode laser (810 nm) treatment to these lesions and had a mean post-treatment follow-up of 13.2 months.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In all the patients there was a gradual regression of the lesion over a mean follow-up of 13.2 months with retention of good visual acuity.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Indocyanine green augmented transpupillary thermotherapy is a viable alternative for management of solitary choroidal metastasis from breast carcinoma.
