Purpose To define the morphometric characteristic s and the implication of simultaneous fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) in traumatic choroidal rupture. Methods Simultaneous FFA and ICGA were carried out in 17 patient s (17 eyes) with traumatic choroidal rupture. Results Choroidal ruptures were shown as hyperfluorescence region in the early pha se of FFA,and as hyperfluorescence in the late phase of FFA but in ICGA were shown as hypofluorescence region in both early and late phases.The rupture regions in ICG A were longer than that in FFA in 5 patients (5 eyes).The rupture regions in 6 patients (6 eyes) with hemorrhage could be shown in ICGA,but couldn't be shown in FFA . Conclusion ICGA is helpful in diagnosing minor choroidal ruptures,in defining the extent of traumatic choroidal ruptures,and in further understanding the pathological changes of choroidal ruptures. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2001,17:30-32)
