Purpose:
To determine the features of fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography of melanocytoma.
Methods:
Fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography is used to assess an optic nerve head melanocytoma in a 45-year-old female.
Results:
Fluorescein angiography revealed increased vascularity on the surface, with staining around the lesion in the late stages. The lesion was hypofluorescent in all stages of indocyanine green angiography.
Conclusions:
Indocyanine green angiography is helpful in identifying the benign nature of the lesion by showing hypofluorescence, indicating lack of vascularity in the tumor.
