To characterize fluorescein angiography (FA) features in pediatric uveitis. A retrospective cross-sectional study of pediatric uveitis patients in Atlanta, GA, who had FA imaging between May 2009 and August 2020. A total of 137 eyes of 88 patients were evaluated. The mean FA score in anterior uveitis was lower than that in other categories (p =.0093). The mean FA score in the clinically active group was higher than that in the clinically inactive group (p =.0057). The mean FA score in eyes 20/40 or better was lower than that in other categories (p =.0292). Worse visual acuity was associated with retinal vascular staining/leakage, retinal staining/pooling, and neovascularization elsewhere. Non-infectious uveitis more often demonstrated optic disc hyperfluorescence, retinal vascular staining/leakage, capillary leakage, and pinpoint leaks, while infectious uveitis more often demonstrated retinal staining/pooling. A standardized quantitative FA scoring system can be useful in the characterization of uveitis in pediatric patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
