The Authors compared ICG video-angiographic findings in 85 eyes of 78 cases of presumed choroidal neovascular membrane (CNM) associated with age-related macular degeneration with those diagnosed by fluorescein angiography. The detection rate of CNM was 68% with indocyanine green (ICG) video-angiography and 59% with fluorescein angiography. ICG video-angiography can be especially useful for identifying hemorrhagic or exudative detachments of the retinal pigment epithelium. In these cases, detection of CNM by ICG video-angiography was generally far superior to that by fluorescein angiography. However, some CNM in which leakage was identified with fluorescein angiography could not be visualized by ICG video-angiography.
