Abstract

Purpose: To assess the findings of indocyanine green angiography(IA) in patients with ocular sarcoidosis.

Subjects and methods: Three active ocular sarcoidosis patients with various retinochoroidal findings diagnosed by biopsy or systemic examination. Two patients were diagnosed pathologically and one patient was diagnosed clinically. IA & fluorescein angiography(FA) were performed before and after treatment with systemic steroid administration.

Results: IA revealed hyperfluorescence surrounding the presumed granulomatous lesions. This hyperfluorescence disappeared immediately after the treatment. FA showed hyperfluorescence continuing even after therapy.

Conclusions: It is purposed that the ring-form hyperfluorescence in IA is due to accelerated vascular permeability in the active sarcoid granuloma. IA, which vividly reflects activity of sarcoid lesions, is an important tool for clinical evaluation of ocular sarcoidosis.
