Abstract

The visualization of the choroidal vasculature with the use of indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) has led to an improved understanding of choroid involving uveitic entities and their pathogenesis. ICGA has also emerged as having an important role in the diagnosis and follow-up of uveitic diseases, as well as in evaluating the full extent of choriocapillaris and choroidal stromal involvement in these diseases. This chapter reviews ICGA findings in the different chorioretinal uveitic diseases.
