PROLIFERATIVE DIABETIC RETINOPATHY

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 01/10/2020

This patient had relatively normal posterior poles with extensive peripheral ischemia and neovascularization on ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography.

Learning Points:
We see this fairly frequently. Since it is so easy to miss proliferative disease, it is not unreasonable for patients with apparent moderate NDPR to have a baseline and periodic ultra-widefield angiogram to rule out subclinical PDR.
