Abstract

We report a case of Macular Telangiectasia type 2 with crystalline retinopathy in a 42 year old female complaining of gradual decrease of vision in both eyes for the past one year. Both eye fundus showed perifoveal refractile crystals with lamellar macular holes. A diagnosis of crystalline retinopathy was made. Other causes of crystals were ruled out based on history, systemic examination, multimodal imaging & laboratory work-up. Presence of dilated perifoveal deep capillary plexus, foveal cavitation & temporal leakage on FFA conrmed association with Macular Telangiectasia. To our knowledge, there is no thorough documentation of crystalline reti-nopathy reported in Indian population.
