A rare case report of Coats’ disease
Abstract
Coats’ disease was first described by George Coats, as a unilateral retinal vascular abnormality. Coats’ disease is a nonhereditary, idiopathic disease presenting with vascular telangiectasia with intraretinal and subretinal exudation with no racial preponderance and systemic associations. Coats’ disease presents with a wide ambit of clinical features- vision loss, strabismus, leukocoria, or nystagmus. The three classical features that are pathognomonic of Coats’ are exudative retinal detachment, telangiectatic vessels, and peripheral retinal ischemia. The modalities for treatment of Coats disease that can be used are laser photocoagulation, anti-VEGF agents, or a combination of both and cryotherapy. This article describes a case report of a 10-year-old male child with complaints of painless loss of vision, his ophthalmological evaluation, and the treatment is undertaken.
