[Fundus fluorescein angiographic findings of sympathetic ophthalmia]

Abstract

Eight cases of sympathetic ophthalmia diagnosed by histopathologic examinations of the enucleated exciting eyes were collected and the fundus fluorescein angiographic (FFA) findings of the sympathized eyes in acute stages were analyzed. The manifestations of the FFA were divided into three types. We suggest that if one eye has a history of trauma and the other eye loses visual acuity rapidly accompanied with uveitis signs after certain incubation period, the fundus fluorescein angiography should be examined to achieve a clinically objective diagnostic basis so that the patients are treated in time.
