Abstract |
Fluorescein angiography of the iris vascular system is more difficult in heavily pigmented irides of the coloured races; in light skinned patients it is easy to perform and even more details are demonstrated in patients with atrophies of the mesodermal iris structure. In congenital albinism very fine vascular structures are demonstrated in younger patients; a similar picture is seen in pupillotonia if there is atrophy of the iris stroma. In senile iris atrophies, Adie's syndrome and congenital albinism the iris vascular structure is basically normal, but atrophy of the iris stroma may lead to increased fluorescein permeability in the elderly.
