Case report of one idiopathic juxtafoveal telangiectasis (IJT) 1A patient whose right eye was treated with a 4 mg intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection. The outcome was evaluated by visual acuity and optic coherence tomography. The visual acuity and the caliper retinal thickness before triamcinolone injection were respectively 20/100 and 569 µm, and 20/60 and 371 µm after three weeks and 20/100 and 614 µm after six week of follow-up. The stabilization of the vascular wall due to the intravitreal triamcinolone injection leads to a transitory improvement in vision and reduction in macular edema in the TJI 1A eyes. No permanent help by the photocoagulation could be shown.
