Measurement of blood-retinal barrier function in central retinal vein occlusion
PS Chahal, TJ Fallon, EM Kohner - Archives of Ophthalmology, 1986 - jamanetwork.com
• Vitreous fluorophotometry was used to measure blood-retinal barrier permeability to
fluorescein in eight patients (mean age, 42.9 years; range, 30 to 55 years) with central
retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Permeability coefficient was derived by fitting a mathematical
model to the posterior vitreous fluorescence scan and plasma-free fluorescein concentration
curve at 60 minutes after intravenous fluorescein sodium (14 mg· kg-1). A permeability index
(PI) was estimated by dividing the area under the vitreous fluorescence scan by the area …
