  • Title: [Value of iris fluorescence angiography in the early diagnosis of vascular lesions].
    Author: Klein S, Zenker HJ.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1985 Sep; 187(3):184-6. PubMed ID: 4068583.
    Abstract:
    Fluorescein angiographies of the iris and retina were performed both in normal individuals (104) and in patients suffering from hyperlipoproteinemia (48), maturity-onset diabetes (184), systemic hypertension (12) and atherosclerosis (12). While hyperpermeation of dye located at the pupillary border was seen in 7.7% of the normals, leakages occurred in 66.6% of the hyperlipoproteinemics and in 79% of the recent maturity-onset diabetics. Paraclinical examination of the normal subjects with pathologic dye transit revealed vascular risk factors in each case. Thus, fluorescein iris angiography is a suitable method of detecting vascular damage in cases of metabolic disorder as early as possible.
