    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Fluorescein angiography is a common diagnostic imaging technique used in ophthalmology.
    • While generally safe, potential complications can arise, including severe systemic reactions.

    Observation:

    • A rare but fatal case of anaphylactic collapse occurred post-fluorescein angiography.
    • The patient experienced a severe anaphylactic reaction leading to death.

    Findings:

    • Anaphylactic reactions are a significant, albeit uncommon, complication of fluorescein angiography.
    • Review of literature highlights various reported complications associated with this procedure.

    Implications:

    • Prompt recognition and management of anaphylaxis are crucial in settings where fluorescein angiography is performed.
    • Adherence to established treatment protocols can mitigate the risk of mortality from anaphylactic reactions.
