Abstract
To evaluate ultra-widefield fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) findings in cases of ankylosing spondylitis (AS)-associated uveitis. Forty-five eyes of 23 AS patients followed up with a diagnosis of uveitis were included. Sixteen (69.6%) men and seven (30.4%) women with a mean age of 46.26 ± 10.87 years were included in the study. Retinal vascular leakage was observed in 19 (42.2%) eyes at FFA, diffuse in six (13.3%) and peripheral in 13 (28.9%) eyes. Active anterior uveitis attack was present in seven (36.8%) eyes with vascular leakage at FFA, while no active uveitis findings were present in 12 (63.15%) eyes. No statistical relation was determined between peripheral and diffuse leakage and active uveitis (p = 0.195). No significant association was also determined between both diffuse and peripheral leakage and visual acuity (p = 0.066). We observed widespread retinal vascular leakage at UWF angiography in AS patients (in eyes undergoing active uveitis attacks and inactive eyes).
