Equivalence of Oral Fluorescein Angiography to Intravenous Fluorescein Angiography in Evaluating Pediatric Optic Nerve Pathology

J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2019 Dec 9:56:e68-e72. doi: 10.3928/01913913-20191016-02.

Abstract

Differentiating true optic nerve edema from pseudo-optic nerve edema is a diagnostic dilemma faced by pediatric ophthalmologists. This case series suggests that oral fluorescein angiography is equivalent to intravenous fluorescein angiography in making this distinction. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2019;56:e68-e72.].
