| Popis: | Intermediate uveitis is a collection of diseases which can be caused by sarcoidosis in approximately fifty percent of patients. We performed a retrospective chart review of 6 patients with acquisition and interpretation of ultra wide field fluorescein angiograms. Two eyes had central, large vessel staining; six eyes had peripheral, small vessel staining; and two eyes had both patterns of staining. We conclude that ultra wide field fluorescein angiography is important to detect inflammation early and follow treatment in patients with intermediate uveitis. Future studies with ultra wide field fluorescein angiography may help to diagnose different types of intermediate uveitis and offer insights into the pathogenesis of disease. |
