  • Angiographic Storm: Fluorescein Leakage in Retinal Vasculitis

    Nov 17 2025 by SHRADDHA RAJ SHRIVASTAVA

    This left eye montage fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) image of a 19 year old male with idiopathic retinal vasculitis, having skip vasculitic lesions predominantly involving retinal veins. There are areas of blocked fluorescence due to intraretinal hemorrhages, the involved veins have filling defects and occlusions, leading to formation of numerous collateral channels. The inflamed vessels also show perivascular fuzzy hyperfluorescent stain due to leakage of dye. We can also see multiple peripheral capillary non perfusion (CNP) areas, with a 'hot disc', suggestive of ongoing inflammation.
