Coats disease in a patient with Fanconi anemia: a case report.
[coats disease]
To
describe
the
diagnosis
and
management
of
Coats
disease
in
a
patient
with
Fanconi
anemia
.
Case
report
.
A
12
-
year
-old
girl
with
Fanconi
anemia
developed
Coats
disease
.
Retinal
vasculature
anomalies
are
present
in
both
diseases
;
however
,
differential
diagnosis
in
this
case
could
be
based
on
the
presence
of
telangiectasias
,
which
are
typical
of
Coats
disease
,
and
the
absence
of
perivascular
sheathing
,
usually
described
in
the
uncommon
retinal
manifestations
of
Fanconi
anemia
.
The
stage
4
Coats
disease
was
managed
with
intravitreal
bevacizumab
injections
and
later
pars
plana
vitrectomy
with
silicone
oil
tamponade
surgery
,
which
prevented
enucleation
despite
visual
loss
.
Patients
with
Fanconi
anemia
can
have
retinal
vasculature
anomalies
that
are
not
necessarily
related
to
this
systemic
anomaly
.
In
this
case
,
the
retinal
alterations
were
related
to
advanced
Coats
disease
stage
,
which
was
successfully
treated
,
and
enucleation
of
the
affected
eye
was
not
necessary
.
