Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Macular Telangiectasia type 1 is a congenital vascular disorder primarily affecting males, characterized by unilateral exudative lesions on the temporal macula. Intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy is commonly used, but the response can be suboptimal in some patients. In this case, we report the management of Macular Telangiectasia type 1 using a integration of intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy and traditional Chinese acupuncture.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 38-year-old male presented with progressive vision loss and metamorphopsia in his right eye. Fundus examination and multimodal imaging (OCT/OCTA and fluorescein angiography) identified a perimacular hard exudate ring, cystoid macular edema, and juxtafoveal telangiectasis, consistent with idiopathic Macular Telangiectasia type 1. For the intervention, the patient received a total of three intravitreal Conbercept injections administered once monthly, integrated with peri-treatment acupuncture at predefined acupoints. Four months after the last treatment, the patient exhibited both visual and anatomical improvement.
CONCLUSION: The integration of traditional Chinese acupuncture with Conbercept may offer therapeutic benefits for Macular Telangiectasia type 1 in this patient. Clinically meaningful improvements were observed, including improved visual acuity, reduced metamorphopsia, and decreased central retinal thickness over follow-up.
