Preface
Fundus fluorescein angiography has played a crucial role in our understanding of different disease processes affecting the eye. A good knowledge of the changes occurring in the fluorescein angiogram is important for correct diagnosis and management of eye disorders. With this in mind, we decided to compile the cases seen at Sankara Nethralaya and publish it in the form of an Atlas. The aim of bringing out this Atlas is to have a comprehensive hook on the fluorescein angiographic findings in different disorders, so as to help the reader in understanding the disorder and in managing these types of cases.
The Vitreoretinal services at Sankara Nethralaya examines about 300 patients and undertakes 25 to 30 fluorescein angiography procedures everyday. These images are stored in the digital archival system, an excellent source for selecting cases for this Atlas. The meticulous manner in which records are maintained has greatly helped in making of this Atlas. All (he cases, without exception, have been seen at Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai.
The book is not intended to be a textbook on fluorescein angiography; the script has been kept to the minimum. On the other hand, a color fundus photograph, a red free photograph and pictures of different phases of the angiogram are included for almost all cases. A detailed legend is given for all photographs.
The book has been divided into seven major sections with separate color coding for each. This was done to make the book as user-friendly as possible. Every attempt has been made to include as many representative cases as possible in each section.
