Characteristics of clinic and fluorescein angiogram of multifocal choroiditis / 中华眼底病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the clinical manifestations and fe at ures of fundus fluorescein angiograms (FFA) of patients with multifocal choroidi tis (MFC). Methods The data of 8 patients who had been diagnos ed by clinic and FFA as with MFC were collected, and their clinical manifestatio ns and results of FFA were analyzed and valued. Results The ag e of the 7 female and 1 male patients ranged from 16 to 32, and all of the 8 pa tients had high myopia (from -6.00 D to -8.00 D) with binocular multiple small yellowish white lesions in posterior pole of the fundus and a few phlogistic ce lls in vitreous body. In addition, macular choroidal neovascularization membrane (CNV) was found in 6 patients, binocular in 2 and monocular in 4. The results o f FFA in 7 patients showed hypofluorescence of the yellowish-white lesions at t he early phase and pigmentation at the late phase; Corresponding manifestations of FFA could be found in the patients attended by CNV surrounded by leakage. Conclusion MFC are mostly diagnosed in young females with myopia. Most of the patients had binocular affection with multiple small yellowish whit e lesions at the posterior pole, whose FFA shows hypofluoresence of the active l esions at the early phase and pigmentation at the late phase. CNV may occur in p atients with MFC.
