Macular Telangiectasia Type 2 and Unilateral Subfoveal Vitelliform Lesion: A Longitudinal Follow-up By Multimodal Imaging

OpenAlex İngilizce

Macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel type 2) is a bilateral, acquired macular disorder that typically manifests in middle-aged individuals. Circular, yellowish subretinal deposits distinguish a vitelliform lesion (VL) and are very rarely observed in conjunction with MacTel type 2. The presence of VL in cases of MacTel type 2 may further contribute to visual deterioration and lead to misdiagnosis. We report the case of a 54-year-old, otherwise healthy man with MacTel type 2 and unilateral VL, in whom the VL lesion progressed to macular atrophy during a three-year follow-up period.
