Abstract
Purpose: This work aims at evaluating the efficacy of iris fluorescein
angiography in diagnosis of different iris lesions.
Patients & methods: A prospective study was conducted on 53 eyes of
42 patients with different iris lesions. A fundus camera was focused on
the iris and 5 ml of 10% sodium fluorescein was given intravenously.
Results: Angiographic findings have been analyzed. Iris fluorescein
angiography allowed easy detection even of initial rubeosis. In uveitis, it
was useful to detect mild inflammation not visible by biomicroscopy. An
irregular disorganized vascular network, intense leakage of the dye and
staining of a tumor were found to be more or less suggestive of
malignancy.
Conclusion: Iris fluorescein angiography can retrieve information that
may otherwise be missed on routine clinical examination.
