Pathologic retinal choroidal anastomoses are relatively rare. Until now, they have been described in age-related macular degeneration only in occult pigment epithelial detachments or following fibrous scarring. We report the occurrence of a retinal choroidal anastomosis with blood flow from an actively proliferating classic choroidal neovascular membrane into a retinal vein in a 72-year-old male with age-related macular degeneration. Indocyanine green videoangiography performed by scanning laser ophthalmoscope demonstrated the anastomosis, whereas it could not be identified clinically or with fluorescein videoangiography.

D007208 Indocyanine Green A tricarbocyanine dye that is used diagnostically in liver function tests and to determine blood volume and cardiac output. Cardio-Green,Cardiogreen,Ujoveridin,Vofaverdin,Vophaverdin,Wofaverdin,Cardio Green,Green, Indocyanine
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D008268 Macular Degeneration Degenerative changes in the RETINA usually of older adults which results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the MACULA LUTEA) because of damage to the retina. It occurs in dry and wet forms.
