The presence of specific microvascularization patterns (networks, parallel with and without crosslinking, silent) in histological sections of human choroidal melanomas has prognostic significance for survival. We showed previously in selected patients that the identification of these microvascularization patterns is possible in vivo by using confocal scanning laser indocyanine green angiography and that this technique is superior to fluorescein angiography using a conventional acquisition technique with a fundus camera. We now routinely use simultaneous confocal fluorescein/indocyanine green angiography to study microvascularization patterns in choroidal melanomas. The purpose of this study was to compare the visibility of tumor vessels and microvascularization patterns in fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography in simultaneous confocal series taken with the same instrument in a large prospective series of patients.
