skip over navigationThe COMS Grading Scheme: Graded FeaturesTelangiectasiaTelegiectasias characteristically involve secondary and tertiary branches of retinal vessels, no longer showing a regular branching pattern, but instead taking on aberrant shapes which included twists, tortuosities, loops, fusiform and spherical dilations, brush-like shapes resembling glomeruli, and anastamoses between vessels. Telegiectasias are best seen on early frames of the angiogram; there is minimal or no dye leakage. Severityback to COMS index |
