Popis: Fluorescein angiography (FA) is an indispensable imaging modality in the diagnosis and management of patients with intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis. The pattern and type of retinovascular and chorioretinal involvement may be useful diagnostically and in the assessment of structural abnormalities associated with visual loss. Moreover, FA may provide a sensitive index with respect to extent of active inflammation and influence the threshold for treatment as well as monitoring the response to therapy. Finally, FA in combination with multimodal imaging provides not only expanded diagnostic and management capabilities but also may shed new light on our basic understanding of posterior segment inflammatory diseases.
