PURPOSE: To assess indocyanine green (ICG) angiography as a method for evaluating the extent of choroidal involvement and to compare ICG angiography with fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) in ocular tuberculosis.
METHODS: FFA and ICG angiography were performed on two patients who had ocular tuberculosis findings during fundus examination. The patients were given topical dexamethasone phosphate, topical cyclopentolate, and oral prednisolone acetate in addition to systemic antimicrobial therapy. Both examinations were repeated after treatment.
RESULTS: In one patient, two hypofluorescent lesions that corresponded to the choroidal tuberculomas were noted with ICG angiography. Only one lesion was found during ophthalmoscopic examination and FFA. After treatment, these lesions persisted, but became less hypofluorescent. In the other patient, ICG angiography showed a hypofluorescent choroidal lesion corresponding to the choroidal tuberculoma that was larger than its appearance on FFA. This lesion remained hypofluorescent in all phases of ICG angiography and became less hypofluorescent after treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: ICG angiography is a useful method to determine the extent of the choroidal lesion and the stage of disease and to evaluate treatment results in tuberculosis patients.
