title: Discrepancy in Fluorescein Angiography and Optical Coherence Tomography Findings of Macular Edema in Intermediate Uveitis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess discrepancies between fluorescein angiography (FA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings for macular edema (ME) in intermediate uveitis, and investigate treatment response differences corresponding to the discrepant patterns.
  
  
  METHODS
  Discrepant results for ME detection between FA and OCT were evaluated. After 6 months, differences in treatment responses were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Discrepant findings for ME were found in 21 (44%) of 48 eyes. The best-corrected visual acuity significantly improved after treatment in the concordant group but not in the discrepant groups. Central retinal thickness significantly decreased after treatment in the FA+/OCT+ and FA-/OCT+ groups but not in the FA+/OCT- group. Disease duration was significantly longer in the FA+/OCT- group than in the other groups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Discrepancies in FA and OCT findings for ME were common in patients with intermediate uveitis. Our results suggest that treatment outcomes may differ according to the discrepant patterns.
