Effects of green diode laser in the treatment of pediatric Coats disease.
[coats disease]
To
review
the
effect
of
green
diode
laser
ablation
therapy
on
retinal
structure
and
functional
outcome
in
patients
with
advanced
Coats
disease
.
Retrospective
,
interventional
case
series
.
Fourteen
eyes
of
13
patients
with
Coats
disease
were
included
in
this
study
.
Medical
records
,
Retcam
photographs
(
Clarity
Medical
Systems
,
Pleasanton
,
CA
)
,
and
fluorescein
angiograms
were
reviewed
.
All
patients
initially
were
treated
with
green
diode
laser
(
532
nm
)
ablation
therapy
to
areas
of
the
retinal
telangiectasis
associated
with
exudation
.
Main
outcome
measures
included
visual
acuity
,
treatment
outcome
defined
as
complete
resolution
of
telangiectatic
lesions
or
exudative
detachment
,
and
macular
status
at
the
end
of
follow-up
.
Before
treatment
,
1
eye
was
at
stage
2
(
telangiectasis
and
exudation
)
,
12
eyes
were
at
stage
3
(
exudative
retinal
detachment
)
,
and
1
eye
was
at
stage
4
(
total
retinal
detachment
with
glaucoma
)
.
Five
eyes
had
highly
detached
retina
of
more
than
4
mm
.
Median
age
at
diagnosis
was
51
months
(
range
,
0
.
5
to
153
months
)
.
Median
follow-up
was
39
.
5
months
(
range
,
15
to
70
months
)
.
Median
number
of
green
diode
laser
photocoagulation
treatments
was
2
(
range
,
1
to
5
)
.
After
laser
photocoagulation
,
13
(
93
%
)
of
14
eyes
had
no
active
exudation
.
Functionally
,
4
(
29
%
)
of
14
eyes
had
20
/
50
or
better
visual
acuity
,
3
(
21
%
)
of
14
eyes
had
20
/
60
to
20
/
200
visual
acuity
,
5
(
36
%
)
of
14
eyes
had
20
/
400
to
light
perception
visual
acuity
,
and
2
(
14
%
)
of
14
eyes
had
no
light
perception
visual
acuity
.
No
eye
was
phthisical
or
enucleated
.
Green
diode
laser
therapy
can
be
an
effective
treatment
for
advanced
Coats
disease
,
even
in
the
presence
of
a
moderate
to
severely
elevated
retinal
detachment
.
