We performed a retrospective review of CT scans and MR images of the eyes in 13 children with Coats disease and 18 children with unilateral retinoblastoma.

Coats disease ct

Coats disease (16% of leukokoria) is a sporadic unilateral idiopathic retinal telangiectasia that produces a lipoproteinaceous subretinal exudate leading to complete retinal detachment. Imaging studies of advanced forms of Coats disease show retinaldetachment and a subretinal exudate with spontaneous high density on CT scans and high signal intensity on T1- and T2-weightedMR images.

Coats disease show retinaldetachment and a subretinal exudate with spontaneous high density on CT scans and high signal intensity on T1- and T2-weightedMR images. Coats disease is usually characterized by unilateral (90%), progressive development of abnormal vessels in the retina of the affected individuals. Coats disease from retinoblastoma because both diseases may present as a non-rhegmatogenous (see below) retinal detachment associated with telangiectases and subretinal collections.


MRI may show partial or total retinal detachment without evidence of an intraocular mass or intraocular calcifications. Coats Disease in the United Kingdom I: Epidemiology and Clinical Features at Diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging findings suggested diffuse infiltrating retinoblastoma.


Diffuse infiltrating retinoblastoma and advanced Coats’ disease can be indistinguishable from each other on magnetic resonance imaging. I think that I have a knack for choosing pathologies that deal with children or seem to affect pregnant mothers. CT), because of their ability to pick up calcium deposits in retinoblastomas.
