Anterior segment fluorescein angiography with a retinal fundus camera. 1978

C L Fetkenhour, and E Chromokos

We use a technique for anterior segment fluorescein angiography that employs an unmodified retinal fundus camera. Examples of conjunctival, corneal, iris, anterior chamber angle, and posterior chamber fluorescein angiograms are illustrated. The advantages of this method include rapid-sequence exposures, high resolution and contrast for small vessel detail, time/frame recordings, and the dual capability of retinal and anterior segment fluorangiography with use of the same camera.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007498	Iris	The most anterior portion of the uveal layer, separating the anterior chamber from the posterior. It consists of two layers - the stroma and the pigmented epithelium. Color of the iris depends on the amount of melanin in the stroma on reflection from the pigmented epithelium.
D003315	Cornea	The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.

D005451	Fluorescein Angiography	Visualization of a vascular system after intravenous injection of a fluorescein solution. The images may be photographed or televised. It is used especially in studying the retinal and uveal vasculature.
