Diagnostic impact of anterior segment angiography of limbal stem cell insufficiency in PAX6 related aniridia

Conclusion: Anterior segment angiography can provide an easily standardizable tool for monitoring progress, treatment‐induced regress or stabilization of ARK. Especially in children, angiography could be used to monitor new treatment regimens for reducing LSCI. Angiography could enable treatment to begin earlier to preserve corneal hemostasis. In addition, the fact that vascularization often starts at the subpalpebral 6 and 12 positions as opposed to the 3 and 9 positions raises more questions concerning factors that promote LSCI and related corneal injuries.
