RetCam II Fluorescein Angiography to Guide Treatment and Diagnosis of Coats Disease.
[coats disease]
Coats
disease
is
a
well-described
clinical
condition
featuring
peripheral
leakage
from
telangiectatic
vasculature
,
resulting
in
exudative
retinal
detachments
and
exudative
deposits
.
It
often
affects
pediatric
patients
,
requiring
examinations
and
treatments
to
be
performed
under
anesthesia
.
It
can
be
difficult
to
distinguish
from
retinoblastoma
.
The
RetCam
II
is
a
wide
-field
fundus
imaging
system
that
can
also
obtain
intraoperative
fluorescein
angiography
.
The
case
of
a
5
-
year
-old
girl
diagnosed
with
Coats
disease
is
presented
.
She
presented
with
an
exudative
detachment
,
a
submacular
nodule
,
and
peripheral
telangiectasis
.
An
examination
under
anesthesia
,
including
angiography
,
was
performed
.
The
angiograph
revealed
characteristic
aneurysms
as
well
as
extensive
areas
of
telangiectasis
and
ischemia
not
readily
visible
on
examination
.
The
angiogram
allowed
more
diagnostic
certainty
and
guided
a
more
complete
treatment
than
otherwise
possible
.
We
propose
that
fluorescein
angiography
with
the
RetCam
II
system
can
be
a
useful
tool
when
examining
and
treating
pediatric
patients
with
Coats
disease
.
