Les MacTel de type 1 touchent habituellement les hommes. Elles correspondent en fait à une maladie de Coats diagnostiquée chez l'adulte, avec des anomalies vasculaires qui prédominent dans la macula. Elles se manifestent sur le plan clinique par une baisse visuelle unilatérale en générale de l'ordre de 5/10, mais pouvant atteindre 1/10.

OBS

MacTel de type 1 : Le terme «MacTel de type 1» est de genre féminin, étant donné que le «Tel» de «MacTel» désigne le mot de base «telangiectasia» («télangiectasie» en français).
