Optic nerve enhancement in Coats disease with secondary glaucoma.
[coats disease]
Differentiating
between
Coats
disease
and
retinoblastoma
can
be
challenging
.
Magnetic
resonance
imaging
typically
is
obtained
when
retinoblastoma
is
suspected
to
evaluate
for
a
mass
or
optic
nerve
infiltration
,
the
latter
appearing
as
an
enhancing
lesion
.
We
report
a
case
of
optic
nerve
enhancement
observed
in
the
setting
of
an
acute
secondary
glaucoma
in
a
patient
with
unilateral
Coats
retinopathy
.
Given
the
gravity
of
the
decision
to
recommend
enucleation
on
the
basis
of
clinical
findings
consistent
with
retinoblastoma
,
physicians
must
be
aware
of
the
possibility
of
optic
nerve
enhancement
in
the
setting
of
inflammation
and
raised
intraocular
pressure
.
