Coats disease radiology features

Unenhanced T1-weighted MR images () showed signs of retinal detachment containing material with a high signal intensity relative to the vitreous. 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. Treatment is sometimes recommended to prevent progression of the disease.

Coats’ disease can make these blood vessels weak and grow incorrectly causing them to leak fluid and blood under your retina. Diagnosis is based on symptoms and a thorough examination of the retina.

Clinical data and diagnostic information was collected from abstracts or full textarticles. OCT revealed that the serous retinal detachment had resolved. The echographic features of other common causes of leukocoria are also discussed.

D: Magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of leukocoria. Coats Disease is a rare eye condition that can cause partial orcomplete blindness. The radiologic imaging characteristics of these lesions will be discussed to facilitate prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Treatment involved closure of allleaking telangiectasia with three sessions of cryotherapy andone session of laser photocoagulation delivered over 2 to 3months.
