Abstract
Retinal and choroidal infectious diseases can be challenging to diagnose and treat. Diagnosis often requires careful clinical examination of the peripheral retina. Ultra-wide field (UWF) technology may add significantly to the sensitivity of detecting the presence of disease activity. Posterior uveitis can be associated with significant changes in the peripheral retina that may be missed by conventional, narrow-field fluorescein angiograms. However, those peripheral findings can be easily visualized using UWF fluorescein angiography (FA), which has been reported to be more useful than traditional FA and can be particularly helpful in following up patients with uveitis. Wide-field fundus autofluorescence (FAF) images may reveal more retinal or chorioretinal abnormalities in patients with posterior uveitis, with a farther extended demarcation than wide-field composite color fundus imaging.
