. Choroidal neovascular membrane in age-related macular degeneration, histopathological and clinicalcorrelation

摘要

Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) has been recently introduced in the clinical practice for better visualization of choroidal neovascular membranes (CNM). In particular, ICGA helps in identifying occult membranes or small feeder vessels in subfoveal CNM. There is just one report describing clinico-pathological correlation, with an interval of 15 months between the dye study and the histopathology. We report the first case of neovascular ARMD in which a complete clinical examination, including infrared imaging, ICGA and scotometry was correlated with pathology assessed after 12 h in the intact eye enucleated for an untreatable melanosarcoma.
