The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the indocyanine green (ICG) angiographic features in 13 patients affected by multifocal choroiditis. We identified two clinical and angiographic patterns. The 'active' pattern showed hypofluorescence up to the late phases and more extensive choroidal involvement than presumed by ophthalmoscopy and fluorescein angiography. In the 'inactive' pattern, ICG angiography showed hypofluorescence during all the phases: no increase in lesion number was observed between early and late phases. Choroidal neovascularization was present in 10 patients, and it was bilateral in 2 of these: it occurred only in the inactive stage. The appearance of choroidal lesions in IGC angiography supports the hypothesis of inflammatory involvement of the choriocapillaris as the pathophysiological mechanism of the disease.
