Coats disease is an
idiopathic condition
characterized by
telangiectatic and
aneurysmal retinal
vessels with
intraretinal and
subretinal exudation
and fluid.
By Pushkar .
Moderated by
Dr.Parvez
• George Coats 1908
• IDIOPATHIC  Telengiectatic & Aneurysmal Vessel.
Exudative retinopathy due to Subretinal Fluid &
Lipid Exudates.
Most commonly seen unilaterally.(85%)
• 3 times more often in Guys as compared to girls. (Fazil > Pooja)
• Disease name solely on basis of Inventor.
• Coats was once thought as tumour so loads of enucleation!!!
!!!Idiopathic too has some reason!!!
Mutation in CRBI gene.
Norrin – a retinal protein.
NDP xp11.2 gene
Q. What is the difference between telangiectasia and aneurysms ?

FACTS ABOUT COAT’S
• Painless
• 3 times more often in Guys as compared to girls.
• Unilateral 80-95%.
• Vessels-?
• Mean age at diagnosis 5 years to 63 years.!!! 1st and 2nd
decades of life most common age at presentation (median age
5-8 years old), but can present at any age.
Juvenile Onset Adult Onset
• Smaller area of involvement.
• Slower disease progression.
• Frequent Haemorrhage
• Associated with HYPERCHOLESTRIMIA
CLINICAL PRESENTATION
• Chief Complaints:-
Decreased VA , Squint , Leukocoria, Xanthocoria (yellow pupil) , Pain ,
Hetrochromia , Nystagmus.
• Anterior Chamber Findings :-
90% normal but 10 % has cataract , iris neovascularization , shallow AC ,
corneal odema , cholestrol crystal in AC, Megalocornea.
• Retina Findings :-
Telangiectasia (100%) , Intraretinal exudation (99%) , Exudative retinal
detachment (81%) ,Retinal Haemorrhage (13%) , Retinal Macrocyst (11%) ,
Optic disc neovascularization (1%)
NO EYES HAD VITREOUS HAEMORRHAGE.
STAGE 4 COATS DISEASE
COATS is Localized ,yellow , subretinal exudation assocaited with adjacent vascular anomalies
like sheathing , telngiectasia, tortousity, aneurysmal dilatation , zones of capillary drop out &
occasionaly neovasularization
SEQUENTIAL PHOTOS POST LASER TREATMENT
• Localized lipid deposition
and varying degrees of
subneural retinal exudate .
• Vessels may appear
sheathed and
telangiectatic.
• Aneurysms are grape-like,
clustered, or lightbulb
shaped

• Most retinal telangiectases are ACQUIRED SECONDARY to local or
systemic conditions such as branch retinal vein occlusion and diabetic
retinopathy.
PRIMARY RETINAL TELANGIECTASIA IS FOUND IN
• Coats’disease,
• Leber’s miliary aneurysms (a localized, less severe form of Coats’disease),
• Idiopathic juxtafoveal telangiectasia, and other angiomatous diseases
Retinal telangiectasia is found in a wide range of ocular disease
processes
DIAGNOSIS
• IDO EXAMINATION
• WIDEFIELD FUNDUS PHOTO / RETCAM
• FFA/WIDEFIELD ANGIOGRAPHY
• OCTA
• USG
• MRI/ CT
• BLOOD TESTING
 Numerous localized anomalies of the retinal vasculature with peripheral retinal non-
perfusion.
 Telangiectasia, aneurysms, beading of vessel walls, and various vascular communicating
channels are found with larger vessels.
 These vessels show early and persistent leakage, leading to cloudy subretinal exudates which
gravitate to posterior pole.
B-SCAN
• Early stages:- Vertical
macula B-scan shows
localised dome-shaped
exudative RD at the
macula.
• A-scan shows multipeaked
spike from thickened retina
and medium reflective
spikes from SUBRETINAL
CHOLESTEROL.
• Longitudinal B-scan shows
funnel-shaped RD and
opacities from subretinal
cholesterol.
CT FINDINGS DEPEND ON THE STAGE OF DISEASE.
Early :- Examination may be normal.
Enhancement may be seen at the margins of the exudate and may have a
V- shaped pattern similar to retinal detachment .
Advanced :- Globe is hyperdense due to proteinaceous exudates and the vitreous
space may be obliterated due to extensive retinal detachment.
Calcification is uncommon but has been reported.
The affected eye in Coats disease is usually significantly smaller than the non-
affected eye in older children, and is thought to represent an impairment of growth
rather than the reduction in volume of a previously normal globe.
• Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
helps in quantitative documentation of
retinal thickening.
• Typical findings include
• prominent intraretinal
hyperreflective material that
corresponds to hard exudate
seen on examination and on
color fundus photography;
• Intraretinal cystoid edema;
• Less commonly, subretinal
fluid.
• Hard exudates and cystoid
edema are most prominent
in the outer retina

Stage 1 disease (telangiectasia only): periodic observations
or laser photocoagulation.
Stage 2 disease (telangiectasia and exudation):
Best managed by laser photocoagulation or
cryotherapy, depending on the extent of the disease.
Stage 3B disease (total RD):
Can be managed with cryotherapy if the RD is
shallow.
May require an attempt at surgical reattachment if the
RD is advanced and immediately posterior to the lens.
Stage 4 disease ( total RD with glaucoma):
Often needs enucleation for the severe ocular pain.
Stage 5 disease:
At this stage, patients have generally a blind, but
comfortable eye and require no aggressive treatment.
Endstage cases associated with neovascular or angle closure glaucoma, or a blind painful eye
may require enucleation.60,146 Alternatively, eyes with neovascular glaucoma may respond
to transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation
