[Group 2A idiopathic parafoveal telangiectasis].
METHODS
Two cases of group 2A idiopathic parafoveal telangiectasis associated with abnormal glucose metabolism are reported with the typical sings of this disease as well as a foveal vitelliform lesion in one patient, an infrequent association.


CONCLUSIONS
Group 2A idiopathic parafoveal telangiectasis are a disease with well characterized clinical signs, being some very infrequent such as a vitelliform maculopathy. Its pathogenesis seems to be linked to some alterations in the parafoveal capillary network endothelial cells. These alterations are similar to those that appear in the beginning of the diabetic retinopathy.
