Retinal telangiectasia-like lesions in a 15-year-old female with Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia - a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome is a bleeding disorder that can affect all parts of the body including the eyes. Different ocular abnormalities have been described in relation to HHT, but the pathogenesis of retinal involvement is still unknown. A few cases have described chorioretinal abnormalities primarily occurring in elderly patients. In this study, we present a unique case of a young female with known HHT and a series of retinal fundus images including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) with macular telangiectasia-like lesions.

Case presentation

A young female genetically diagnosed with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), is regularly attending
