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 .
