OCT pinpoints structural changes related to fluorescein leakage from microaneurysms

  • May 17, 2013

Focal fluorescein leakage from microaneurysms correlated strongly with lack of capsular structure and other anatomic changes in eyes with diabetic retinopathy, according to a study.

The retrospective study included 132 eyes of 92 patients. Investigators examined microaneurysms detected with color fundus photographs, fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography. Spectral-domain OCT was used to document the characteristics of microaneurysms, such as capsular structure, hyper-reflective spots and adjacent cystoid spaces.
