[Diagnosis of retinal vascular changes in diabetic children by means of fluorescein-angiography (author's transl)].
By means of fluorescein-angiography diabetic microangiopathy can be earlier revealed than by means of ophthalmoscopy. 36 children with diabetes (aged 6,25-15,5 years, x 11,6 years) with a duration of the diabetes between 0 and 12,75 years (x 3,9) were submitted to fluorescein - angiography, in 20 cases a follow up study was performed. Pathological changes were found in 21 cases, in 10 of 15 children with normal angiograms the duration of the disease was less than 5 years. More than 50% of all patients followed up showed an increase of diabetic microangiopathy.
