Choroidal Neovascularization In Retinal Telangiectasia

Retinal telangiectasia is neuro-degenerative macular disease that is limited to juxtafoveal region in one or both eyes with capillary telangiectasia and focal retinal gliosis. Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is one of the main complication that causes visual deterioration in retinal telangiectasia. When patients develop CNV, rapid visual deterioration with subretinal hemorrhage, cystoid macular edema, hard exudates, disciform scar, and retinocoroidal anastomosis may occur. In our review article we discussed CNV in retinal telangiectasia and current treatment approaches.
