Fluorescein angiography in toxaemia of pregnancy.

Fluorescein angiography in toxaemia of pregnancy.

The clinical and fluorescein angiographic findings in 2 cases of retinal detachment occurring in toxaemia of pregnancy are presented. Both cases showed angiographic evidence of abnormal choroidal leakage of dye unassociated with signs of retinal angiospasm. Both cases also showed angiographic evidence of delayed filling of the choriocapillaris. We believe this finding has not previously been re...

Fundus photography and fluorescein angiography Fluorescein angiography

Fluorescein angiography is a clinical diagnostic test procedure in which rapid-sequence photography is performed after intravenous injection of sodium fluorescein. The procedure allows the documentation of the retinal circulation. Of equal importance is the ability of the angiogram to outline the entire retinal vascular bed. Previous clinical methods of examination of the fundus enabled the phy...

Pregnancy Toxaemia in Sheep - a Review

The review is presented in three parts. (1) Origin of the ketonaemia. Quantitative estimates are presented for rates of ketone production at various body sites and in differing conditions. The current view is presented of the mechanism initiating ketogenesis by de-repression of carnitine acyl transferaseI. Utilisation of ketones and possible adverse effects ,of ketonaemia are discussed (2) Orig...

Fluorescein Angiography Authors:

They took serial fundus photographs after intravenous injection of sodium fluorescein to study the retinal and choroidal circulation(1). Initially, they used this technique in diabetic and hypertensive patients and after, the technique was used in age-related macula...
