ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To describe the clinical characteristics of idiopathic juxtafoveal telangiectasis (IJT) in Koreans.METHODS:
Medical records of 16 patients with IJT were analyzed during the period from 1997 to 2009. Diagnosis was based on biomicrosopic and fluorescein angiographic findings and the group was determined according to the Gass and Blodi classification.RESULTS:
We analyzed eight patients in group 1A (50%), two in group 1B (12.5%), and six in group 2A (37.5%). Diverse treatment modalities, such as macular laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy, intravitreal antiangiogenic agent, and steroid injection, were applied for macular edema in nine eyes; however, only two eyes showed visual improvement.CONCLUSIONS:
In this case series, group 1A was the most common. For macular edema related to IJT, current treatment strategies had no consistent effect.
