“…In the present study, RVAC was detected in 6.7% of 180 eyes with an occult CNV and PED using the SLO. The differences between these studies may be related to differences in the angiographic definitions and systems used [13]. In contrast to other studies, we defined RVAC as an RCA in connection with a well-demarcated focal hyperfluorescence.…”

Purpose: To analyze and compare the angiographic features of retinal vascular anomalous complex (RVAC) in patients with a vascularized pigment epithelial detachment (PED) secondary to age-related macular degeneration. Methods: Retrospective evaluation of fluorescein and indocyanine green angiographies of 180 patients with occult choroidal neovascularization and PED. Results: On indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), RVAC demonstrated as a focal hyperfluorescence in connection with retinal choroidal anastomosis was identified in 12 of the 180 eyes (6.7%) with a vascularized PED. In comparison, fluorescein angiography revealed RVAC in 6 of the 12 eyes. Associated clinical and angiographic features were intraretinal hemorrhage in all 12 eyes, cystoid macular edema in 6 eyes and preretinal hemorrhage in 4 eyes. Conclusions: RVAC is better delineated on ICGA than on fluorescein angiography. In clinically suspected cases with a vascularized PED in connection with intraretinal hemorrhage and/or cystoid macular edema, ICGA should be performed to enhance management considerations.

“…In the present study, none of the 12 patients demonstrated intraretinal leakage in late ICG images taken with the Rodenstock SLO. Late pictures captured with the Rodenstock SLO are less intensive than those with digital cameras used by other authors [13]. …”
