Abstract
Hypertensive fundus changes are most frequently caused by chronic hypertension, mainly affect the retina and are well observed with fluorescein angiography. If hypertensive onset is acute, as in malignant hypertension, choroidal and optic nerve changes are predominant. Choroidal lesions can be actually studied by indocyanine green (ICG) angiography.
