Coats disease – An atypical presentation
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
We present a 17 year old female with gradual onset diminished vision in left eye since 1 year. On examination she revealed telangiectasia and exudation with exudative subtotal retinal detachment in left eye superotemporally. USG B-scan showed dense echoes, choroidal thickening and exudative retinal detachment temporally. There was no evidence of calcification or mass lesion. On retinal fluorescein angiography, areas of capillary non-perfusion and dilatation together with fusiform aneurysms were observed. Thus we highlight an atypical presentation of coats disease; the accurate diagnosis and treatment of which would enable timely management and favorable visual prognosis for the patient.
