Idiopathic macular telangiectasia type 2

Idiopathic macular telangiectasia type 2 is a chronic, bilateral, slowly progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the central retina that predominantly manifests in middle-aged and older adults The pathophysiology involves the degeneration of retinal Müller glial cells and photoreceptors, accompanied by secondary vascular remodeling in the juxtafoveal region Characteristic clinical features include loss of retinal transparency, depletion of macular pigment, telangiectatic and ectatic capillary ...

Idiopathic macular telangiectasia type 2 is a chronic, bilateral, slowly progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the central retina that predominantly manifests in middle-aged and older adults Characteristic clinical features include loss of retinal transparency, depletion of macular pigment, telangiectatic and ectatic capillary alterations that often exhibit late hyperfluorescent leakage, crystalline deposits, and cavitary changes with ellipsoid zone disruption on optical coherence tomography...

Idiopathic macular telangiectasia type 2 is a chronic, bilateral, slowly progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the central retina that predominantly manifests in middle-aged and older adults As the disease advances, patients experience progressive loss of central visual acuity, paracentral scotomas, and complications such as retinal pigment epithelium hyperplasia or subretinal neovascularization
