OCT Angiography Helps Distinguish Between Proliferative Macular Telangiectasia Type 2 and Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel2) is a bilateral retinal disease that initially affects the temporal juxtafoveal microvasculature in both eyes and then spreads throughout the juxtafoveal region of the macula with asymmetric severity during the fifth to seventh decades of life.1 –3 Abnormalities include a greyish coloration to the juxtafoveal retina, intraretinal cavities, draping of the internal limiting membrane over inner retinal cavities, breakdown of the inner segment/out segment/ellipsoid zone region, and external limiting membrane in the outer retina, often in asso ciation with
