- Arteriovenous (capillary, early)
- Venous
- Recirculation (late)
2
Q
FA interpretation: blood
Hypo or hyperfluorescence?
A
Hypo
* obstruction/ blockage
3
Q
FA interpretation: vascular occlusion
Hypo or hyperfl?
A
Hypo
* inadequate perfusion of tissue (filling defect)
4
Q
On FA, types of hyper-fluorescence (4)
A
- pooling
- leakage
- staining
- window defect
5
Q
Pooling on FA indicates a breakdown of?
A
outer blood retinal barrier
* abnormal choroidal neovasc is leaky and dye will escape, accumulation of fl into distinct space
