Abstract

Occult choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration occurs in the majority of patients with exudative maculopathy. Since occult CNV cannot be imaged clearly by fluorescein angiography, this condition is untreatable. The authors performed digital indocyanine-green videoangiography (ICG-V) on 657 consecutive eyes with occult CNV by fluorescein angiography to determine if this technique could be useful in enhancing the imaging of the neovascularization, and thus increasing treatment eligibility. Six hundred fifty-seven consecutive eyes with occult CNV were studied. The fluorescein and ICG angiograms were compared, and the percentage of patients potentially eligible for laser therapy based on ICG findings was calculated. Of 413 eyes with occult CNV without pigment epithelial detachments, focal areas of neovascularization were noted in 89 (22%). Overall, 142 (34.3%) eyes had lesions that were potentially treatable by laser photocoagulation based on additional information provided by ICG-V. Of the 235 eyes with occult CNV and vascularized pigment epithelial detachments, 98 (42%) were eligible for laser therapy based on ICG-V findings. The authors calculate that ICG-V enhances the treatment eligibil...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
