Objective To observe the image characteristics of autofluorescence (AF) in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Methods A total of 85 eyes of 72 patients with CSC were examined by Headberg HRA2 laser scanning fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), redfree light photography, and Kowa fundus colorizedphotography. The grey AF images were obtained with 488 nmwave-length laser and comparatively analyzed with results of fundus colorized photography, redfree light photography and FFA. Results In 85 eyes, single faint AF of the CSC focus was in 14 (16.5%); faint AF pool containing b lamellar focus was in 39 (45.9%); faint AF pool combining with mottling focus was in 25 (29.4%); local dense or scattered mottling AF at the posterior pole was in 7 (8.2%). FFA fluorescein leakage point or abnormal fluorescence were in accordance with abnormal AF in 60 eyes (70.6%); the changes of ocular fundus, results of FFA, and changes of AF were not accordance in 25 eyes (29.4%). AF of CSC focus during different disease course was different, which showed single platelike faint AF pool and b mottling AF complex focus in and out of the faint AF in the period of onset of the disease, while b mottling combining with faint mottling AF and various multiinfection fields in the period of chronicity. Conclusions The AF of CSC mainly demonstrates single faint AF, b mottling combining with faint mottling AF and multiinfection AF in macular fields. AF examination associates with fundus colorized photography and FFA can be mutually complemented in observing the images of CSC.
ObjectiveTo explore the evaluation value of preoperative multislice spiral computed tomography angiography (MSCTA) for normative radical gastrectomy. MethodsThe anatomic distributions of celiac trunk and its three branches and their tributaries (common hepatic artery, right hepatic artery, left hepatic artery, splenic artery, and left gastric artery) of 86 patients with gastric cancer were comprehended by preoperative MSCTA, which were verified during the surgery. Simultaneously preoperative TNM staging was evaluated by MSCTA, which compared with postoperative pathological results. ResultsThe accuracy rate of preoperative MSCTA evaluating the distribution of celiac trunk and its three branches and their tributaries was 100%. Abnormal hepatic arteries were found in 22 cases by MSCTA, the mutation rate was 25.58%. Abnormal right hepatic arteries were found in 11 cases (12.79%), abnormal left hepatic arteries in 7 cases (8.14%), both abnormal right and left hepatic arteries in 1 case (1.16%), and abnormal common hepatic arteries in 3 cases (3.49%). Straight splenic arteries were found in 24 cases (27.91%), slightly curved splenic arteries in 44 cases (51.16%), and significantly curved splenic arteries in 18 cases (20.93%). Compared with postoperative pathological results, the accuracy rates of preoperative MSCTA evaluating gastric cancer T, N, and M staging were 75.58%（65/86）, 74.42%(64/86), and 91.86%(79/86), respectively. ConclusionsPreoperative MSCTA is an objective way to assess the distributions of celiac artery trunk and related tributaries of patients with gastric cancer. Also, it is an accurate method to evaluate the preoperative TNM stage of gastric cancer, which can help to make an individual operative plan and avoid the intraoperative injury of the artery.
Objective
Observation on the characteristics of choroidal melanomas with indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and fundus fluorescsin angiography(FFA).
Methods
Both ICGA and FFA were used in 16 cases of choroidal melanoma for comparison and analysis.
Results
81.2% of tumors showed hypofluorescence all the way or faint fluorescence in later stage．62.6% of tumors had characteristic intrinsic tumor vassels with ICGA,while 12.5% of tumors had intrinsic vessels with FFA．Those tumors that can't be diagnosed owing to whole hyperfluorescence in later stage with FFA may be diagnosed by visibility of intrinsic tumor vessels with ICGA.
Conclusion
ICGA is helpful in the diagnosis of choroidal melanoma.
