Yes - the patient had an abnormal vascular tree beyond the brachial plexus. He
actually had a large "pouch" and we speculated that the fluorescein just pooled
and had titrated out a little at a time. The abnormality was discovered by
brachial angiography initiated because of the abnormal fluorescein angiogram.
The patient had similar findings up his neck which explained some of his visual
and his brain symptoms.
A fluorescein sodium angiogram done on his opposite arm the next week had
normal arm to retina time

Subject: [optimal] No infiltration...no Fluorescein
Has anyone ever experienced a phenomenon where an FA injection did not
infiltrate, or at least we did not have any indication of infiltration, and no
dye infuses into the retinal blood vessels? All camera functions we're verified
and set correctly and the Color fundus and redfree images we're good.
Just curious.
Thanks
