Diagnosis and treatment of bilateral Coats disease in a 5-year-old girl

Abstract

A 5-year-old girl presented with decreased vision and outward deviation of her right eye. Fundus examination revealed multiple hard exudates in the macula in the right eye and nasal to the disk in the left eye. The patient was lost to follow-up in the near term but presented 9 months later with reduced vision and an increase in exudates in both eyes. RetCam fluorescein angiography confirmed the diagnosis of bilateral Coats disease.
