چکیده
Retinal telangiectasias are idiopathic vascular abnormalities of the retina characterized by irregular dilatation of the retinal vessels, intraretinal and subretinal exudation. The aim of this article is to describe the uncommon association of Leber's miliary aneurysms and vitreomacular traction syndrome in a female patient. The diagnosis was established with angiofluoresceinography and optic coherence tomography. The patient was treated with focal photocoagulation with argon green laser directed to the perimacular aneurysms and pars plana posterior vitrectomy. The visual acuity showed great improvement after a four-month follow-up. The present report supports the importance of optic coherence tomography in cases where the vitreoretinal interface must be evaluated, including vascular pathologies, which allowed us to offer a better treatment to this patient.

متن کاملIntravitreal Injection of Bevacizumab to Treat a Macular Edema Caused by Leber's Miliary Aneurysm
PURPOSE Leber's miliary aneurysm is a variant of Coats' disease and similar to type 1 idiopathic macular telangiectasia. A recent report showed that an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (IVB) was effective in an adult patient with type 1 idiopathic macular telangiectasia. We describe our experience with an adult patient with a macular edema caused by Leber's miliary aneurysm, which had not ...
