Choroidal telangiectasia in a patient with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia

Identification of Retinal Vascular Lesions Using Ultra-Widefield Angiography in Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia Patients

“…Previously reported retinal abnormalities include dilation and tortuosity of retinal vessels, parafoveal telangiectasias, and neovascularization, though reporting of intraocular lesions in HHT patients is highly variable and is not accompanied with information regarding the systemic burden of HHT on patients. 6,7 This study is the first in-depth vascular analysis of the peripheral retina of HHT patients using FA and OCTA. The majority of patients in our cohort (78%) were found to have peripheral telangiectasias in either the temporal or nasal retina.…”

“…[3][4][5] A variety of retinal lesions have also been described in HHT patients, including dilation and tortuosity of veins, neovascularization, and parafoveal telangiectasias. 6,7 Loss of vision secondary to retinal and vitreous hemorrhage in HHT patients with prior known retinal vascular abnormalities have additionally been reported, 8,9 suggesting that retinal vascular lesions among these patients may predispose to vision threatening hemorrhage.…”

Prevalence of ocular manifestations in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia

“…The foremost is most prevalent, sometimes resulting in frightening but harmless bloody tears [1]. Choroidal telangiectasia, to our knowledge, has been reported only once in the literature in the form of prominent choroidal vessels [7]. The risk of choroidal hemorrhage during ocular operations seems to be elevated [4].…”

Diagnóstico oftalmológico de un caso de telangiectasia hemorrágica hereditaria o enfermedad de Rendu-Osler-Weber

“…Por un lado, tenemos aquellos localizados en el segmento anterior, como son lágrimas con sangre, telangiectasias y lesiones granulomatosas conjuntivales posthemorrágicas. Por otro lado, las telangiectasias retinianas maculares y coroideas (4).…”
