Spontaneous Regression in Two Unusual Cases of Advanced Coats' Disease.

[coats disease]

The authors present two cases of advanced Coats' disease having total exudative retinal detachment, in which the disease regressed spontaneously. The patients were a 4-year-old girl and 3-year-old boy with total retinal detachment with widespread vascular anomalies. In the follow-up, fundus examination revealed spontaneous regression. At this stage, photocoagulation and cryotherapy were applied. In case 1, the eye was stable during 2 months but recurrence started thereafter, which ended with phthisis. In case 2, the retina was still attached 6 months following surgery. The authors emphasize the possibility of spontaneous regression, even in advanced Coats' disease.
