Resolution of exudative retinal detachment and regression of retinal macrocyst post-laser in Coats disease.
[coats disease]
A
15
-
year
-old
boy
presented
with
painless
progressive
blurring
of
vision
in
the
right
eye
for
1
year
in
duration
.
His
visual
acuity
in
the
right
eye
was
hand
movement
.
The
right
fundus
showed
presence
of
extensive
subretinal
exudates
at
the
posterior
pole
and
a
retinal
macrocyst
at
the
temporal
periphery
.
It
was
associated
with
exudative
retinal
detachment
at
the
inferior
periphery
of
the
retina
.
Fundus
angiography
revealed
telangiectatic
retinal
vessels
at
the
superotemporal
retina
.
Based
on
clinical
and
angiographic
findings
,
a
diagnosis
of
Coats
disease
was
made
.
He
was
treated
with
retinal
laser
photocoagulation
.
There
was
resolution
of
the
exudative
retinal
detachment
,
reduction
of
subretinal
exudates
,
and
regression
of
the
retinal
macrocyst
with
improvement
of
visual
acuity
to
1
/
60
post-laser
therapy
.
