Fluoroangiographic picture of the acute stage of the retinal lesion in subacute sclerosing panencephalitis.

The fluoroangiographic examination of the acute stage of retinal lesion in a 16-year-old girl suffering from SSPE showed an exclusively localized retinal vascular involvement 4 days after the onset of her visual complaints. A week later this occlusive vascular lesion progressed to a large area of capillary bed obstruction and it was followed up angiographically. The choroid was involved even during the late stages of evolution of retinal lesion at a low degree. Our angiographic findings enable us to consider a neuroretinal location of primary pathological process in the retina.
