Objective
To investigate the cilinical value of indocyanine green angiography(ICGA) in patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome(VKH).
Methods
Fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA) and indocyanine green angiography(ICGA) were used for comparative analyses in 26 cases(52 eyes)of VKH.
Results
In the acute stage of VKH,FFA revealed the multifocal leakage in the pigment epithelium and the multifocal serous retinal detachment,and the typical FFA manifestations disappeard following treatment．In the acute stage of the disease the ICGA showed:(1)numerous patchy areas of hypofluorescence and decreased flurescence in large and middle choroidal vessels(66.7%);(2)dilatation of the choroidal vessels(70.8%)and(3)in latephase of ICGA,the patchy areas of hyperfluorescence(79.2%).During the recovery stage of the disease,the abnormal undings in ICGA were resolved slower than those found in FFA.
Conclusions
ICGA may assist in providing valuable informations on choroidal circulation of VKH and be useful in evaluating the curative effects．
