Posterior non-vascularized proliferative extraretinopathy and peripheral nodular retinal telangiectasis.

Peripheral telangiectatic nodules in the inferotemporal retina were associated with proliferation of posterior fibrocellular epiretinal membranes in seven eyes of five patients. The membranes showed great variation in their extent (localized or widespread), their location (epimacular, paramacular or peripapillary), and their effects (no effect, underlying retinal striation or full-thickness retinal folding). Pars plana vitrectomy and membrane peeling was performed in three eyes.

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.

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 telangiectasia, retinoschisis and retinal detachment.

A 32-year-old woman had progressive bilateral peripheral and central retinal telangiectasis with secondary exudative, nonrhegmatogenous, retinal detachment, and secondary retinoschisis. This is unique constellation of clinical findings, retinal telangiectasis itself being an uncommon disease, and usually occurring in young males, unilaterally. Theories for the etiology of this disease process are presented. The disease was successfully treated bilaterally with retinal cryopexy extensively applied to the retinal telangiectasis, both peripheral and paracentral, with both scleral buckling and drainage of copious amounts of thick subretinal exudation.

Idiopathic juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasia: a review and case report.

Idiopathic juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasis is a group of retinal vascular anomalies characterized by retinal vessel dilation and tortuosity, multiple aneurysm formations, varying degrees of vascular leakage and lipid exudate deposition. Idiopathic juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasis may occur as a primary disorder (either congenital or acquired), or may be caused or accompanied by other systemic or ocular diseases. The visual prognosis and effectiveness of therapy is dependent upon the etiology of the retinal telangiectasis. Included in this review is a case report, as well as the classification system used to identify idiopathic juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasia.

Coat's disease: an uncommon lesion of eye--a case report.

Coat's Disease, first reported in 1908, is a rare disease which is usually seen in young males presenting with complaints of unilateral vision loss. Microscopically, retinal telangiectasis and exudative retinal detachment is seen. Attempts should be made for differentiating and early detection of this disease to avoid enucleation of eye ball. Here we discuss a case report of a child manifesting as coat's disease in which a clinical diagnosis of Retinoblastoma was given and eye was enucleated.

Coats' disease and central nervous system venous malformation.

Primary retinal telangiectasis or Coats' disease is a non-hereditary retinal vascular abnormality consisting of incompetent telangiectatic and aneurysmal retinal vessels. It is characteristically found unilaterally in boys and occasionally may be associated with other systemic disorders. The authors report the first case of primary retinal telangiectasis with a concomitant diffuse central nervous system venous abnormality.

Paramacular telangiectasis.

Forty six patients with paramacular retinal telangiectasis were reviewed; unilateral telangiectasis was present in 26 and bilateral disease was present in 20. Patients with unilateral macular telangiectasis had the more extensive vascular involvement associated with exudation and were more likely to have peripheral telangiectasis. Bilateral macular telangiectasis was associated with pigment epithelial changes and sub-retinal scars. Visual acuity was mildly reduced in the majority of patients; severe loss of vision was most frequent in patients with bilateral macular disease. The evolution of vascular changes was very slow and only 5 patients lost vision of two lines or more during an average period of 40 months. The high incidence of peripheral changes in unilaterally involved patients implies the possibility of a primary defect of the retinal vessels in these patients. There is evidence to suggest that there may be a primary defect of the retinal pigment epithelium in some patients with bilateral involvement.
