Foveal avascular zone in idiopathic juxtafoveolar telangiectasia
1Department of Ophthalmology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center, New York, N.Y.
Abstract:
We measured angiographically the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) in 26 subjects with idiopathic juxtafoveolar telangiectasia (IJFT) and 27 control subjects. Quantitatively, FAZ was significantly smaller in IJFT (median = 0 mm2) than in controls (median = 0.405 mm2). Qualitatively, the telangiectasia in IJFT was temporal (92.5% of eyes) and appeared as microaneurysms interconnected with several capillaries, spider-shaped microaneurysms, or Coats'-like telangiectasia. IJFT is characterized by temporal telangiectasia and small FAZ.
