[coats disease]
Coats
disease
is
characterized
by
idiopathic
congenital
retinal
telangiectasis
and
exudative
retinopathy
.
Mostly
young
males
are
affected
.
The
disease
is
usually
unilateral
.
Visual
prognosis
varies
from
full
visual
acuity
to
blindness
according
to
the
extent
of
retinal
exudation
.
Retinoblastoma
is
a
major
differential
diagnosis
particularly
in
small
children
but
other
causes
of
exudative
retinopathy
must
also
be
considered
.
Treatment
aims
include
obliteration
of
the
telangiectasis
in
order
to
resolve
retinal
exudation
and
achieve
reattachment
of
the
retina
.
Therapeutic
options
comprise
laser
coagulation
or
cryotherapy
,
drainage
of
subretinal
fluid
,
buckling
surgery
and
pars
plana
vitrectomy
.
In
more
advanced
cases
with
therapy-resistant
secondary
glaucoma
enucleation
may
be
required
.
More
recently
,
intravitreal
administration
of
VEGF
inhibitors
has
become
an
option
.
