title: The abnormal choroidal vessels in aged patients.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  To show the abnormal choroidal vessels in aged patients with indocyanine-green angiography (ICGA).
  
  
  METHODS
  ICGA was performed in 350 patients with TOPCON TRC-50IA fundus camera. The images were recorded and retrospectively reviewed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Five aged patients out of 350 cases were found to have abnormal choroidal vessels. The incidence was 1.43%. The abnormal choroidal vessels showed round- shapet, focal enlargement, abnormal shape and entrance, satellite appearance, and vascular loops. These might be due to congenital abnormality of choroid.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  ICGA could be used to observe the abnormal choroidal vessels.
