Abstrakt:	Purpose: To describe the clinical course of 3 patients with Stickler syndrome found on fluorescein angiography (FA) to have nonperfusion of the peripheral retina. Methods: Three patients with confirmed Stickler syndrome were examined under anesthesia. Genetic testing and FA were performed. Results: Each patient had characteristic ocular findings of Stickler syndrome, including high myopia with vitreoretinal degeneration. FA was performed on each patient and showed 360 degrees of nonperfusion of the retinal periphery in all eyes, with mild leakage in Case 3. Conclusions: The current series presents evidence of peripheral retinal nonperfusion in 3 consecutive patients with Stickler syndrome. Based on these findings, the authors recommend adopting FA as a standard imaging modality and using laser photocoagulation to treat the areas of retinal nonperfusion for all patients with Stickler syndrome.
