Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS:
Angioid streaks may be hyperfluorescent, hypofluorescent or invisible on indocyanine green angiography. Hyperfluorescent streaks were found in 88% of eyes, hypofluorescent streaks in 11%; in 18% of eyes some streaks were not visualized by indocyanine green angiography. The peau d'orange stained as a speckled pattern in the midperiphery; the flecks were concentrated temporal to the macula. Eighteen eyes presented classic and 6 occult choroidal neovascularization. In several eyes a plaque-like lesion was seen on indocyanine angiography that did not correspond to occult choroidal neovascularization on fluorescein angiography. CONCLUSION:
