Abstract

Idiopathic parafoveal telangiectasia (IPT) is characterized by abnormal dilated or ectatic retinal capillaries with exudation. In many studies macular hole or pseudohole was demonstrated in patients with IPT. However, only one case with the coexistence of IPT and epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation was reported before. In this study, we presented the retinal alterations of a patient with IPT admitted to our clinic with complaint of blurred vision for two months. A hyperreflective band refers to ERM, diffuse thickening and increased reflectance of inner retinal layers and cystic spaces in the inner nuclear layer of the retina were detected in horizontal optic coherence tomography (OCT) images of left eye. Due to the thickening of the inner retinal layers, foveal depression was lost. There was no full-thickness or partial-thickness retinal tissue defect in any OCT scan.

Özet

İdiyopatik parafoveal telenjiektazi (IPT), parafoveal alandaki dilate veya ektazik retinal kapillerlerden kaynaklanan eksüdasyon ile karakterize bir hastalıktır. Birçok makalede IPT hastalarında sekonder maküler hol veya psödohol geliştiği rapor edilmiştir. Ancak IPT ile birlikte sekonder epiretinal membran (ERM) sadece bir olguda tarif edilmiştir. Bu olgu sunumuzda iki aydır görmede azalma şikayeti ile kliniğimize başvuran IPT’li bir hastanın retina dokusunda ortaya çıkan değişiklikler irdelenmektedir. Hastanın sol gözüne ait optik koherens tomografi (OKT) görüntülerinde ERM’yi gösteren hiperreflektif bir bant, retina iç tabakalarında diffüz kalınlaşma ile yansıma artışı ve iç nükleer tabakada kistik boşluklar saptandı. Retina iç tabakalarındaki diffüz kalınlaşma nedeniyle foveal çukurluk fark edilemiyordu. Ayrıca hiçbir OKT kesitinde tam kat ya da yarım kat retinal doku defekti izlenmedi.
