網膜色素上皮下脈絡膜新生血管の螢光眼底血管造影所見

Fluorescein angiographic features of neovascularization outer to the retinal pigment epithelium

　異論のない網膜色素上皮下脈絡膜新生血管の3例を報告し，その螢光眼底所見の特徴は網膜動脈相に樹枝状，房状あるいは輪状の過螢光として出現し，後期に螢光色素の漏出あるいは顆粒状過螢光を伴うstainingの像であることを明らかにしたが，このことは黄斑部網膜色素上皮下脈絡膜新生血管の早期診断，鑑別診断に役立つものと考えた．

The paper describes fluorescein angiographic findings in 3 subjects who developed neovascularization outer to the retinal pigment epithelium and who were followed up for longer periods. All the cases showed common fluorescein angiographic features for the condition. During the arterial phase, the neovascularization outer to the retinal pigment epithelium appeared as a tufty, wheellike or dendritic fluorescent pattern. Towards the later phase, this pattern progressed to leakage or granu-lar staining. Recognition of this pattern would be of clinical value in identifying neovascularization outer to the retinal pigment epithelium in the macular area.
