Indocyanine green augmented transpupillary thermotherapy in the management of choroidal metastasis from breast carcinoma.
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.
