Peripapillary fluorescein leakage in 11778 Leber's optic neuropathy.
A 17-year-old young man presented with a 2-month sequential visual loss in both eyes. Vision was 20/200 in the right eye and 20/400 in the left eye. Both discs were hyperemic with circumpapillary telangiectasia and nerve fiber swelling. Fluorescein angiography revealed a fuzzy hyperfluorescence due to leakage from dilated capillaries on both discs in the late transit. Molecular mitochondrial DNA study confirmed a homoplasmic 11778 Leber's optic neuropathy.
