Arm-rest for fluorescein photography.

Arm-rest for fluorescein photography.

FLUORESCEIN photography of the fundus requires an intravenous injection of the dye into the antecubital vein. This has to be done whilst the patient is seated in the position for taking photographs, with the chin on the chinrest and the forehead touching the crossband. An arm-rest to support the elbow in an extended position has been used by me at the Birmingham and Midland Eye Hospital for the...

Fundus photography and fluorescein angiography Fluorescein angiography

Fluorescein angiography is a clinical diagnostic test procedure in which rapid-sequence photography is performed after intravenous injection of sodium fluorescein. The procedure allows the documentation of the retinal circulation. Of equal importance is the ability of the angiogram to outline the entire retinal vascular bed. Previous clinical methods of examination of the fundus enabled the phy...

Fundus photography and fluorescein angiography.

Fluorescein fundus photography of angioid streaks.

The most characteristic ocular lesions in pseudoxanthoma elasticum are the angioid streaks which may be seen in about 85 per cent. of cases. The associated features in the fundus are a peculiar mottled appearance (Shimizu, I96I), peau d'orange (Smith, Gass, and Justice, I964), and yellowish-white spots (salmon spots). While most subjects showing angioid streaks have pseudoxanthoma elasticum, cl...

Serial fluorescein photography in acute retrobulbar neuritis.

Fluorescein fundus photography is of value in the detection of early papilloedema (David, Heyman, and Hart, 1963; Miller, Saunders, and Ffytche, 1965). We have applied this technique to the serial study of patients with acute retrobulbar neuritis. This disorder is usually unilateral and the unaffected eye could be used as a control. Also, since papilloedema is not present at the onset of sympto...
