Abstract | PURPOSE: PATIENTS AND METHODS: RESULTS: In all eyes, basal laminar drusen were hyperfluorescent with both angiographies. On fluorescein angiography, the macular material was hypofluorescent early, but gradual staining occurred from the borders in the late phase. In 8 out of the 12 eyes, fluorescein angiographic characteristics of the macular lesions could not provide clues to differential diagnostic between new choroidal vessels and vitelliform material. On indocyanine green angiography, in 8 eyes the material remained intensely hypofluorescent during the whole sequence. In 4 eyes, indocyanine green angiography allowed the identification of hyperfluorescent well-defined new choroidal vessels. CONCLUSIONS:
