Figure 1.. Ultra-Widefield Fluorescein Angiograms of a Pediatric Patient With Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy
A, Ultra-widefield fluorescein angiogram obtained during the early phase of angiography in a pediatric patient with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy that shows filling of dragged retinal vasculature and a lesion in the temporal retinal periphery. B, Angiogram obtained during a late phase of angiography showing peripheral leakage of fluorescein.

Figure 2.. Ultra-Widefield Fluorescein Angiograms of a Pediatric Patient With Coats Disease
A, Ultra-widefield fluorescein angiogram obtained during the early phase of angiography in a pediatric patient with Coats disease that shows filling of retinal vessels, unequal fluorescence, peripheral teleangiectatic retinal vessels, and staining of macular lesion. B, Angiogram obtained during a late phase of angiography that shows a similar picture.
