Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and angiography in patients with angioid streaks.

Abstract

Angioid streaks were visualized more clearly and in larger numbers by ICG-A than FA. However, in some cases streaks that were funduscopically and fluorescein angiographically visible could not be seen by ICG-A. Occult CNV was detected by ICG-A. Some mottled areas were seen and more clearly visualized by ICG-A. Calcium deposits were observed as localized areas of hyperreflectivity on OCT. These findings indicate that fluorescein angiography, ICG-A and optical coherence tomography all provide supportive information for each other and can be used for either diagnosis or follow-up of those patients.
