Abstract
PURPOSE: To report a case of CREST syndrome associated with juxtafoveolar telangiectasias (JT). DESIGN: Case report. METHODS: Observational case report. RESULTS: A 64-year-old woman affected with CREST syndrome developed bilateral visual loss. Capillary dilatation and permeability changes in the outer retina were noticed during an angiographic study. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed thickening with loss of the foveal depression and inner lamellar cyst. The patient was diagnosed as stage 3, group 2A JT associated with CREST syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: Finding JT in association with CREST syndrome suggests a common pathophysiologic process.
