Dynamic (video) angiography during fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) provides valuable information on the filling characteristics of both the retinal and choroidal circulation. The ability to observe filling of the vaculature during the very early phases of the angiogram in great detail provides valuable additional information to the clinician, which facilitates the diagnosis and management of both retinal and chorodial diseases. This video examines the utility of dynamic FA and ICGA in the diagnosis of diseases such as polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, retinal angiomatous proliferation, and retinal vacular diseases such as retinal vein occlusion. The characteristic features of these conditions are illustrated and discussed.
