[Bipolar electrocoagulation of red spider veins and telangiectasis of the face].

The development of a patented bipolar "coagulation fork", applied in combination with a customized microprocessor-controlled high-frequency unit, constitutes a break-through in the treatment of very small varicose veins of less than 0.5 mm in diameter, commonly described as spider veins, that cannot be removed through sclerotherapy. The technique is quite simple and does not require any kind of anesthesia. It is also best suited to treat teleangiectases on the face. Follow-up treatment is not required.

[Capillary telangiectasis, angiographically occult vascular malformations. MRI symptomatology apropos of 7 cases].

OBJECTIVE: Describe the MRI findings in capillary telangiectasias. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 1996 and 1999, we observed 9 cases of capillary telangiectasia in 7 patients explored 5 times for posterior fossa symptoms. In two cases capillary telangiectasia was a fortuitous discovery. All patients were explored by MRI with T1 sequences with and without gadolinium injections, turbo spin echo T2 coupled in 5 cases with a double echo gradient echo T2 sequence (TR: 970 ms, TE: 15 and 35 ms). Two patients also underwent vertebral angiography. RESULTS: The telangiectasia gave a low intensity signal on T1 sequences in 2 of the 9 cases and a discretely high intensity signal on T2 sequences in all cases. After gadolinium injection, 9 telangiectasias showed homogeneous or speckled enhancement. The echo-gradient T2 images showed a very low intensity signal in 7 out of 7 cases on the second echo. At the first echo, 4 capillary telangiectasias were undetectable. The two vertebral angiographies were normal and the follow-up MRI in 5 patients showed lesion stability. CONCLUSION: Pontile lesions with no mass effect showing enhancement after gadolinium injection and with or without a discrete T2 high intensity signal but with a frank echo-gradient T2 signal strongly suggest capillary telangiectasia.

Familial spastic paraplegia and maculopathy with juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasis and subretinal neovascularization.

PURPOSE: To describe a previously unreported condition involving familial spastic paraplegia and a peculiar type of maculopathy. METHODS: Two pairs of siblings were studied. All four cases underwent serial clinical examinations, fundus photography, and fluorescein angiography. Two siblings had extensive investigations. RESULTS: Characteristics of the four cases include spastic paraplegia diagnosed in the first decade of life and visual loss at about age 9 due to a maculopathy with an abnormal vascular complex. In the early stages, parafoveal dilatation of the capillary network was noted. The later stages were characterized by cystic macular degeneration, and seven of eight eyes developed fibrovascular scars with retinochoroidal anastomoses, pigment migration, and atrophic changes. In two siblings, electro-oculographic findings were subnormal, whereas results of electroretinography, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and spinal cord, and metabolic and karyotype studies were normal. These siblings were an Indonesian girl and boy; the other siblings were white males. There was no consanguinity of the parents and family history was unremarkable. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that the two pairs of siblings have an identical familial and probably recessive disorder with neurodegenerative changes that have caused paraplegia and a peculiar maculopathy associated with anomalous retinal vascular complexes, retinochoroidal anastomoses, and subretinal neovascularization.

Retinal telangiectasis: delayed response to photocoagulation.

A case suggestive of early Coats' disease treated cautiously with xenon arc photocoagulation is presented. Although adequate reaction was observed, the abnormal vessels persisted through the initial follow-up period. However, 9 months after treatment the vessels were found to be obliterated.
