Fluorescein angiography in retinopathy of prematurity is increasingly utilized over the past decade. The development of ultra-wide-field imaging combined with fluorescein angiography has allowed improved visualization of the peripheral retinal vasculature. Patient cooperation in the pediatric population is particularly challenging, but hand-held digital retinal photography has shown promise and can visualize the infant retina without the need for anesthesia and intravenous access. Many features of retinopathy of prematurity and its response to laser and anti-VEGF treatment can be either exclusively or better visualized on fluorescein angiography compared to indirect ophthalmoscopy or color fundus photography. Disease treatment is gradually shifting from laser photocoagulation to intravitreal anti-VEGF agents, the latter being associated with late-onset vision-threatening sequelae. The role of fluorescein angiography in retinopathy of prematurity monitoring will continue to increase with the longer follow-up required and different clinical behavior seen with anti-VEGF treatment. We highlight the utility, safety, and importance of fluorescein angiography in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of retinopathy of prematurity.
在过去十年中,荧光素血管造影术在早产儿视网膜病变中的应用越来越广泛。超广角成像与荧光素血管造影术相结合的发展,使得周边视网膜血管系统的可视化得到了改善。儿科人群中的患者配合尤其具有挑战性,但手持式数字视网膜摄影已显示出前景,并且无需麻醉和静脉通路即可可视化婴儿视网膜。与间接检眼镜或彩色眼底摄影相比,早产儿视网膜病变的许多特征及其对激光和抗VEGF治疗的反应在荧光素血管造影术中可以单独或更好地可视化。疾病治疗正逐渐从激光光凝转向玻璃体内抗VEGF药物,后者与晚期视力威胁性后遗症相关。随着抗VEGF治疗所需的更长随访时间以及不同的临床行为,荧光素血管造影术在早产儿视网膜病变监测中的作用将继续增加。我们强调荧光素血管造影术在早产儿视网膜病变的诊断、治疗和随访中的实用性、安全性和重要性。
