One patient with bilateral idiopathic juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasis (IJRT) revealing pigment hyperplasia in 1 eye was investigated by means of fluorescein angiography and optical coherent tomography (OCT).

Report of a Case.

A 63-year-old man was referred to our department for gradual loss of central vision in both eyes. The visual acuity was 0.6 in right eye and 0.3 in the left eye. The Amsler test result was negative in both eyes. Biomicroscopic evaluation revealed in the right eye a small black stellate plaque temporal to the macula (Figure 1). In the left eye, a small intraretinal hemorrhage was revealed temporal to the macula. Early phases of fluorescein angiography showed minimal evidence of capillary dilation, while in the late phases, a mild staining surrounding the foveolar retina temporally was evident. This aspect was more marked in the right eye. The retina in the macular area of both eyes appeared flat by the OCT. . . . [Full Text of this Article]
