[Fluorescein iridography in post-thrombotic retinopathy]

Fluorescent iridography evidenced that postthrombotic retinopathy is associated with pathologic changes in the iridal vessels, increase of the circulation time, impaired angioarchitectonics, development of shunts and collaterals, in some cases of new vessels. The degree of the pathologic changes in the iris correlates with the severity of the underlying condition. Extravasal release of fluorescein from the iridal and ciliary vessels evidences an impairment of the permeability of the anterior section of the ++hemato-ophthalmic barrier in postthrombotic retinopathy.
