PURPOSE:To search for the occult choroidal neovascularization(CNV)of age-related macular degeneration (AMD)with macular hemorrhage using indocyanine green angiography(ICGA). METHODS:FFA and ICGA were performed in a series of 22 cases(24 eyes)of AMD with macular hemorrhage,and the findings of both angiograms were compared each other. RESULTS :ICGA was found to be superior than FFA in evaluating the occult CNV of AMD with hemorrhage owing to the following outstanding findings in this series,i.e,in judging the presence,position,number and range of the occult CNV. CONCLUSION:ICGA is an important technique in diagnosing the subretinal occult CNV in AMD with macular hemorrhage,and useful in selecting therapeutic measures including photocoagulation and surgical treatment. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1997,13: 146-149）
