BACKGROUND To describe a patient with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) whose choroidal vascular lesions were demonstrated dynamically with the use of indocyanine green (ICG) angiography. CASE A 59-year-old man complained of blurred vision due to vitreal amyloidosis in both eyes. Fundus examination after pars plana vitrectomy showed multiple retinal hemorrhages. OBSERVATIONS ICG ang...

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the single largest cause of sight loss and blindness in the working age population of Western countries; it is the most common cause of blindness in adults between 20 and 60 years of age.

We report a case with lacquer cracks observed in the peripheral fundus. A 37-year-old patient with bilateral high myopia who visited our clinic was examined by fluorescein angiography (FA) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) to determine whether there were myopic fundus lesions. FA showed many arch-shaped, hyperfluorescent linear lesions running circumferentially in the peripheral fundus. FAF sho...

To report a case of bilateral isolated foveal hypoplasia in which multimodal imaging was used to confirm the diagnosis. Fundus autofluorescence imaging, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fundus fluorescein angiography were used to describe the typical findings of a patient with isolated foveal hypoplasia. Spectral domain OCT showed absence of foveal depression and persistent inner retinal...

PURPOSE To compare the incidence of adverse reactions following rapid versus slow fluorescein injection for fundus angiography. METHODS This randomized controlled trial was performed on 500 patients with retinal vascular disorders. Subjects with central serous retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration and retinal pigment epithelial changes were excluded. Pregnancy, asthma, allergic diseas...
