  • Title: Fluorescein angiographic findings in an infected scleral buckle.
    Author: Mansour AM, Bashshur Z, Han DP, Kim JE.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers; 2002; 33(5):433-5. PubMed ID: 12358300.
    Abstract:
    This report presents fluorescein angiographic (FA) findings in a patient with scleral buckle infection. Ten days following scleral buckling surgery, FA demonstrated dilated choroidal vessels over the buckle with leakage of fluorescein into the subretinal space. Irregular diffuse scleral thickening was noted on the computed tomography (CT). The findings of focal choroiditis with dilated leaky choroidal vessels seen on FA, or diffuse scleral thickening demonstrated by a CT may aid in establishing the diagnosis of scleral buckle infection.
