Noncontact high-resolution ultra-wide-field oral fluorescein angiography in premature infants with retinopathy of prematurity.

Abstract

IMPORTANCE:

We report for the first time, to our knowledge, the acquisition of noncontact ultra-wide-field oral fluorescein angiograms in premature infants with retinopathy of prematurity.

OBSERVATIONS:

High-resolution oral fluorescein angiograms were successfully obtained in 3 consecutive premature infants with retinopathy of prematurity at the Oxford Eye Hospital, Oxford, England, using the Optos Panoramic 200MA imaging system (Optos PLC).

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE:

Noncontact ultra-wide-field oral fluorescein angiograms captured using the Optos Panoramic 200MA fluorescein angiographic system provide a safe and alternative method for evaluating the retinal vasculature in premature infants with retinopathy of prematurity.
