Fluorescein Angiographic Characteristics of Macular Edema During Infancy.

ABSTRACT: Importance:Macular edema during infancy, a subclinical feature identified in premature infants by handheld spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), has been associated with poorer visual acuity and neurodevelopmental outcomes. Features of macular edema on fluorescein angiography (FA) are needed to understand its pathophysiology, but to date have not been reported previously. Objective:To investigate the FA features of macular edema during infancy. Design, Setting, and Participants:A retrospective review was conducted of 8 infants at Duke Eye Center who received simultaneous SD-OCT and FA imaging from July 1, 2011, to June 30, 2017. Research and clinical care images were obtained during examination of the infants under anesthesia or at the bedside in the neonatal intensive car
