Abstract:
PURPOSE: To evaluated the fluorescein and indocyanine green angiographic findings (FAG and ICGA) of each stage in vitelliform macular dystrophy. METHODS: In this study (3 patients, 6 eyes), the stage of macula lesion was classified as follows: stage A (vitelliform), stage B (pseudohypopyon), stage C (scrambled egg), stage D (early cicatricial), and stage E (advanced cicatricial). RESULTS: At stage A, the lesion was hypofluorescent in the early phase and was hyperfluorescent in the late phase of both FAG and ICGA. At stage B, FAG showed hyperfluorescent in the upper portion and hypofluorescent in the lower portion of the lesion. ICGA showed hypofluorescent in the upper portion. However, ICGA showed hypofluorescent in the early and hyperfluorescent in the late phase in the lower portion. At stage C, the lesion was hypofluorescent in the early phase and hyperfluorescent in the late phase of both FAG and ICGA. At stage D, FAG showed hyperfluorescent and ICGA showed hypofluorescent. At stage E, FAG showed central hypofluorescent lesions and a hyperfluorescent ring. While ICGA showed typically hypofluorescent. CONCLUSIONS: The FAG and ICGA findings showed variable patterns according to the evolution of the lesion.
