Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Intraoperative assessment of retinal and choroidal disorders is crucial for surgical planning.
  • Existing imaging modalities may have limitations during complex intraocular surgeries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of endoscopic fluorescein angiography (EFA) for assessing various retinal and choroidal pathologies.
  • To determine if EFA can provide valuable intraoperative information during vitrectomy.

Main Methods:

  • 100 patients undergoing vitrectomy received intravenous fluorescein.
  • High-resolution endoscopic angiograms with up to 110-degree field of view were captured.
  • Features of diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, vasculitis, exudative macular degeneration, and neovascular glaucoma were documented.

Main Results:

  • EFA successfully delineated capillary nonperfusion and retinal vascular occlusions.
  • Neovascularization of the disc, retina, subretinal space, and iris was visualized.
  • The technique provided detailed mapping of pathological retinal and choroidal areas.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic fluorescein angiography (EFA) effectively defines pathological retinal and choroidal areas intraoperatively.
  • Intraoperative EFA may facilitate more selective surgical management during vitrectomy procedures.
