Two-step widefield fundus fluorescein angiography-assisted laser photocoagulation in pediatric retinal vasculopathy: A pilot study.

ABSTRACT: To introduce the procedures of two-step fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and evaluate its utility in the management of pediatric retinal vasculopathy. In this retrospective study, medical records of 12 patients who received two-step FFA were studied. The two-step FFA consisted of step 1 [low-dose (LD)] FFA at an intravenous dose of 1.5 mg/kg fluorescein, followed by step 2 [reduced dose (RD)] FFA at a dose of 6.2 mg/kg fluorescein. Demographic data, including age, gender, diagnosis, weight, gestational age, birth weight, and weight on the examination day were taken, were collected. The results of two-step FFA and treatment were recorded. A total of 20 eyes were studied. The top 5 common FFA changes in RD-FFA included peripheral avascular zone (15 eyes), fluorescein leakage (10 eyes), s
