JFT usually results in vision loss when the abnormal blood vessels leak fluid or bleed into or under the retina. JFT may also result in damage to the cells of the retina in the absence of fluid or blood (sometimes called “atrophy”). Unfortunately, some of the …

2024年1月23日 · Idiopathic juxtafoveal telangiectasia, or macular telangiectasia (MacTel), is a rare condition that occurs due to abnormal, tiny blood vessels surrounding the fovea, the part of the retina that provides our most detailed vision. If left …

Idiopathic juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasis (IJFT), also known as parafoveal telangiectasis or idiopathic macular telangiectasia, refers to a heterogeneous group of well-recognized clinical entities characterized by telangiectatic alterations of the juxtafoveolar capillary network of one or both eyes, but which differ in appearance, presumed...

Idiopathic Juxtafoveal Telangiectasis (pronounced tell an gee ACT te sis) (JFT), also known as perifoveal telangiectasis or mac-tel for macular telangiectasia, is a condition in which abnormalities develop in blood vessels at the center of the retina.

JFT occurs when tiny abnormal blood vessels (or telangiectasias—pronounced tell an gec TAY shuhs) occur in the fovea. Telangiectasias are blood vessels that branch abnormally and may leak fluid or blood into the retina, which is the portion of the eye that house photore-ceptor cells that detect light. (Figure 1). Strangely, many patients with JFT

Treatment and Prognosis: JFT usually results in vision loss when the abnor-mal blood vessels leak fluid or bleed into or under the retina. JFT may also result in damage to the cells of the retina in the absence of fluid or blood (sometimes called “atrophy”). Unfortunately, some of the vision loss associated with JFT may be permanent.

2014年2月17日 · Idiopathic juxtafoveal telangiectasia (IJFT), also known as idiopathic macular telangiectasia [1], is an uncommon disorder characterized by telangiectatic vessels in the juxtafoveolar region of one or both eyes.

Idiopathic Juxtafoveal Telangiectasia (IJT) is a group of three related disorders in which the capillaries around the fovea, the center of the retina, are abnormally dilated and leaky. Idiopathic is a term used when the exact cause of the disease is unknown. Juxta means adjacent, thus juxtafoveal means adjacent to the fovea.

JFT occurs when tiny abnormal blood vessels (or telangiectasias—pronounced tell an gec TAY shuhs) occur in the fovea. Telangiectasias are blood vessels that branch abnormally and may leak fluid or blood into the retina, which is the portion of the …
