Objective To investigate the iconographic characteristics and clinical significances of synchronic examination of indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) for high myopia.Methods Thirty patients (57 eyes) with high myopia( gt;-6.00D), selected randomly and consecutively, were examined by ICGA and FFA synchronically.Results The result of early phase of FFA showed hypofluorescence of the background in 25 eyes,while of late phase showed subretinal neovascularization (SRNV) in 10 eyes and streak formation in 40 eyes. The result of ICGA showed choroidal retrobulbar arteries in 8 eyes, hypofluorescence of the background in 35 eyes, SRNV in 8 eyes, and streak formation in 52 eyes.Conclusion The iconographic characteristics of ICGA and FFA of high myopia include hypofluorescence of the background, SRNV and streak formation. ICGA can givemore exact information on the lesions of choroid in high myopia. The synchronic examination of ICGA and FFA may act as a guide to the therapy for high myopia.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,2003,19:87-89)
