Familial parafoveal telangiectasis.
We report two cases of parafoveal telangiectasis encountered in the same family. The patients are father and son. Both patients are healthy. Both presented with small parafoveal telangiectatic vessels, with minimal associated subretinal fluid. There were no other associated conditions. To the best of our knowledge these cases represent the first reported cases of father-to-son transmission of parafoveal telangiectasis.
