Objective To investigate the characteristics of images of angiography in uveal effusion syndrome (UES). Methods The clinical data of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) in 11 patients (17 eyes) with UES were retrospectively analyzed, and 4 patients (7 eyes) underwent angiography again 1 month to 28 months after segmental sclerectomy. Result The results of FFA and ICGA showed papilledema and venous tortuosity and dilation in 12 eyes, leakage spots at the post pole of ocular fundus in 2 eyes, leopard spots in 14 eyes, linear or meshy pigment stripes in 8 eyes. The results of ICGA showed uneven flecked hyperfluorescence lasted to later stage in 4 patients (5 eyes), a triangle hypofluorescence area at the inferior fundus in 1 eye, and a geographic pattern hypofluorescence at the posterior pole in 1 eye. Segmental sclerectomy was performed on 5 patients (8 eyes), and after surgery, cilia-choroidal detachment was gradually alleviated and even disappeared, the status of choroidal hyperpermeability was alleviated, and the leakage spots disappeared. The subretinal fluid increased in only 1 eye 2 years after the surgery. Conclusion The characteristics of aniography for UES are venous tortuosity and dilation, papilledema, leopard spots, and linear or meshy pigmentary stripes, which may deepen our understanding about the disease and help to diagnose it.
