Midperipheral fundus involvement in diabetic retinopathy.

K Shimizu, Y Kobayashi, K Muraoka

    Ophthalmology
    |July 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Diabetic retinopathy causes capillary nonperfusion, especially in the midperipheral retina, more than the posterior retina. This nonperfusion is worse with neovascularization in the retina, optic disc, or chamber angle.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Diabetology

    Background:

    • Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of vision loss.
    • Understanding the spatial distribution of vascular lesions is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Current imaging techniques may not capture the full extent of retinal vascular changes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the topologic distribution of vaso-occlusive and vasoformative lesions in diabetic retinopathy.
    • To assess the prevalence of capillary nonperfusion in different retinal regions.
    • To correlate the extent of nonperfusion with the location of neovascularization.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a novel super-wide (130-degree) fluorescein angiographic montage technique.
    • Applied a numeric coding system to quantify vaso-occlusive lesions across 418 fundus blocks.
    • Evaluated 119 eyes diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy.

    Main Results:

    • The midperipheral retina showed a higher propensity for capillary nonperfusion compared to the posterior retina.
    • Capillary nonperfusion was significantly more pronounced in eyes with neovascularization originating from the retina, optic disc, and chamber angle, in ascending order.
    • Demonstrated a detailed topologic mapping of vascular abnormalities.

    Conclusions:

    • The midperiphery is a critical area for monitoring diabetic retinopathy progression.
    • Neovascularization location significantly impacts the severity of capillary nonperfusion.
    • Super-widefield fluorescein angiography provides a comprehensive view of diabetic retinopathy vascular changes.
