Fluorescein angiography in diabetic children.
In 63 diabetic children, aged 10--14 years, with normal ophthalmoscopy, fluorescein angiography revealed slight diabetic retinopathy in maximally three, aged 12--14 years. These findings are discussed in relation to the controversial results published in a few other fluorescein angiographic studies on diabetic children. It is concluded that normal ophthalmoscopy does not exclude the presence of diabetic retinopathy and that fluorescein antiography is a valuable method in the early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy.
