Ultra-widefield imaging for the management of pediatric retinal diseases.
[coats disease]
To
describe
the
utility
of
using
ultra-widefield
digital
fundus
photography
and
ultra-widefield
fluorescein
angiography
(
UWFA
)
in
the
pediatric
patient
population
to
evaluate
peripheral
retinal
pathology
and
to
manage
Coats
'
disease
and
familial
exudative
vitreoretinopathy
(
FEVR
)
.
Retrospective
review
of
pediatric
retinal
patients
with
FEVR
or
Coats
'
disease
who
underwent
ultra-widefield
fundus
photography
and
UWFA
.
Eight
patients
were
included
in
this
case
series
.
Five
patients
had
the
clinical
diagnosis
of
FEVR
,
and
two
eyes
of
two
patients
with
FEVR
received
UWFA-guided
laser
photocoagulation
.
Three
patients
were
diagnosed
as
having
Coats
'
disease
and
received
UWFA-guided
laser
photocoagulation
.
Ultra
-widefield
fundus
photography
and
UWFA
can
be
used
successfully
as
an
outpatient
procedure
in
the
pediatric
patient
population
without
the
necessity
of
examination
under
anesthesia
and
can
aid
the
physician
in
the
documentation
and
evaluation
of
peripheral
retinal
pathology
.
UWFA
can
also
assist
in
directing
laser
photocoagulation
in
the
treatment
of
pediatric
retinal
diseases
.
