INDOCYANINE GREEN ANGIOGRAPHY IN ENLARGED BLIND SPOT SYNDROME

PURPOSE: To report the indocyanine green angiography findings in a cas e of acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement syndrome. METHOD: The pat ient underwent ophthalmologic examination with fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography, RESULTS: A monocular enlarged blin d spot was found on automated perimetry; fluorescein angiography showe d a hypofluorescent peripapillary atrophic area and indocyanine green angiography highlighted diffuse, small hypofluorescent spots scattered throughout the posterior pole. Visual field defects and indocyanine g reen angiography abnormalities resolved over 4 weeks. CONCLUSION: Indo cyanine green angiography in acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement s yndrome showed many lesions not visible with fluorescein angiography, indicating a choroidal involvement reaching not only the peripapillary area but the entire posterior pole.
