title: Fluorescein angiography of the fundus: a schematic approach to interpretation.
abstract: Fluorescein angiographic patterns reveal a wide variety of anatomical, pathological and physiological information which, correctly interpreted, contributes to the differential diagnosis of fundus diseases and to the evaluation of appropriate therapeutic approaches. A schema for interpretation of the fluorescein angiogram is presented, following a logical progression from the initial determination of abnormal hypofluorescence of hyperfluorescence to the evaluation of the specific locations and features of the patterns, and their relationships to various disorders.
