Abstract

Introduction: Fluorescein angiography (FA) is a useful investigation in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal and choroidal disease. FA has well-reported adverse effects, most being mild. Very few cases have reported cutaneous venous staining following FA.

Case presentation: Two cases are reported. Case 1 was a 90-year-old female with bilateral neovascular age-related macular degeneration. In the few minutes following her routine FA, she developed cutaneous fluorescein staining ascending along the superficial forearm veins proximal to the cannula in situ at the dorsal wrist. Case 2 was a 50-year-old male with diabetic macular oedema. In the minutes following his FA, he developed cutaneous fluorescein staining descending along the dorsal forearm veins distal to the cannula in situ at the cubital fossa. Both patients were managed conservatively with the stain resolving in the next few days.

Conclusion: Cutaneous fluorescein staining around superficial vasculature is a rare phenomenon. Despite this, it seems to be self-limiting and does not require any treatment.

荧光素血管造影导致皮肤静脉染色：一种罕见的自愈现象

简介：荧光素血管造影（FA）是诊断和治疗视网膜和脉络膜疾病的有效检查方法。据报道，荧光素血管造影术有很多不良反应，大多数都是轻微的。只有极少数病例报告在进行荧光素血管造影后出现皮肤静脉染色：报告了两个病例。病例 1 是一名 90 岁的女性，患有双侧新生血管性老年性黄斑变性。在常规 FA 术后的几分钟内，她的前臂浅静脉沿着手腕背侧原位插管的近端出现了皮肤荧光素染色。病例 2 是一名 50 岁的男性，患有糖尿病性黄斑水肿。在 FA 术后的几分钟内，他的皮肤荧光素染色沿着前臂背侧静脉向下延伸，直到插管远端位于肘窝处。两名患者均接受了保守治疗，染色在随后几天内消退：结论：浅表血管周围的皮肤荧光素染色是一种罕见现象。结论：浅表血管周围的皮肤荧光素染色是一种罕见的现象，尽管如此，它似乎是自限性的，不需要任何治疗。

期刊介绍： This peer-reviewed online-only journal publishes original case reports covering the entire spectrum of ophthalmology, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, toxicities of therapy, supportive care, quality-of-life, and survivorship issues. The submission of negative results is strongly encouraged. The journal will also accept case reports dealing with the use of novel technologies, both in the arena of diagnosis and treatment. Supplementary material is welcomed. The intent of the journal is to provide clinicians and researchers with a tool to disseminate their personal experiences to a wider public as well as to review interesting cases encountered by colleagues all over the world. Universally used terms can be searched across the entire growing collection of case reports, further facilitating the retrieval of specific information. Following the open access principle, the entire contents can be retrieved at no charge, guaranteeing easy access to this valuable source of anecdotal information at all times.
