- Asymptomatic patients with 20/20 VA and a normal posterior pole sometimes reveal dramatic peripheral retinal disorders that require either a DFE with BIO or panoramic ophthalmoscopy with optomap®.
- In widespread peripheral vascular disorders, fluorescein angiography (FA) through a panoramic imaging device is most revealing.
- This week’s case is about such an asymptomatic patient whose routine exam of the far peripheral retina led to remarkable images captured with panoramic FA and a thought provoking but inconclusive differential diagnosis.
- Whether to treat at present or monitor carefully also proved controversial.
