OBJECTIVE To investigate the indocyanine green (ICG) angiographic findings of healed traumatic choroidal ruptures. METHODS Three eyes of two patients with choroidal ruptures underwent both fluorescein angiography and ICG angiography with a digital high-resolution system. RESULTS Fundus examination showed healed choroidal ruptures in all three eyes. Two of the eyes had old macular scars and one eye had a recent choroidal neovascular membrane with serous detachment of the macula. On fluorescein angiography, the choroidal ruptures showed hypofluorescence at very early stages followed by late hyperfluorescence. On ICG angiography, the choroidal ruptures were hypofluorescent in early, mid and late phases. ICG angiography provided a clear delineation of the choroidal ruptures. In all eyes, the lesion was better defined on the ICG angiogram than on the fluorescein angiogram. CONCLUSIONS ICG angiography can be helpful in the clinical evaluation of choroidal ruptures and can be used together with fluorescein angiography for the diagnosis and follow-up of choroidal ruptures.
