We sent questionnaires to 424 retina specialists in order to compile information on the use of fluorescein angiography in pregnant women. Four-hundred and three specialists responded. Of these, 313 (78%) had never performed fluorescein angiography on a pregnant woman. Ninety specialists (22%) had performed at least one fluorescein angiogram on a pregnant woman; detailed information was obtained on 105 patients. Authors of previous reports that included fluorescein angiography during pregnancy provided information on an additional 11 patients. Substantiated side effects were nausea and/or vomiting in seven patients. Anomalies at birth, an undescended testicle and syndactyly, were reported in two children. There was one stillbirth with pathologic findings classic for toxemia and one fetal death not related in time to fluorescein angiography. One therapeutic abortion was performed for complications in toxemia. One spontaneous abortion occurred 3 days after fluorescein angiography in a patient who was four weeks pregnant. Eight children born to toxemic mothers had low birth weights. Based on our data, we conclude that fluorescein angiography does not offer a high rate of birth anomalies or complications during pregnancy.

We sent 424 retina specialists questionnaires on fluorescein angiography performed on pregnant women; 399 specialists responded.

Authors of previous reports that included fluorescein angiography during pregnancy provided information about an additional 11 patients. Substantiated side effects were nausea or vomiting in seven patients. Anomalies at birth, an undescended testicle and syndactyly, were reported in two children. There was one stillbirth with pathologic findings classic for toxemia, and one fetal death occurred several months after fluorescein angiography. One therapeutic abortion was performed for complications in toxemia. One spontaneous abortion occurred three days after fluorescein angiography in a patient who was four weeks pregnant. Eight children born to toxemic mothers had low birth weights. We conclude that fluorescein angiography does not cause a high rate of birth anomalies or complications during pregnancy.

To the Editor. —Subretinal abscess is an unusual clinical entity. We describe a subretinal abscess with minimal vitreous involvement in an intravenous drug abuser. Cultures of subretinal material yielded Aspergillus flavus . Report of a Case. —A 40-year-old man presented with pain of five days' duration and central visual loss in his right eye. He had previously abused intravenous cocaine. Ocular and medical history were unremarkable. General physical examination results were normal. Eye examination revealed a visual acuity of counting fingers in the right eye and 20/25 OS. There was no relative afferent pupillary defect. Slit-lamp examination of the right eye showed a hyperemic conjunctiva, fine keratic precipitates on the corneal endothelium, moderate cellular reaction in the anterior chamber, and minimal cellular reaction in the anterior vitreous. Intraocular pressure was 8 mm Hg OD and 12 mm Hg OS. Fundus examination of the right eye demonstrated a well-defined, creamy, yellow
