Abstract
We report a case of adult onset of Coats’
disease encountered during presentation of fellow eye pathology. Patient was
referred for right eye corneal foreign body. On examination, left eye vision
was poorer than right eye and patient was not aware of the severity of his eye
condition. Upon further fundus examination, it shows signs of coats disease in
left eye. The diagnosis was then supported by optical coherence tomography
(OCT) scan and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) study. In order to avoid
dreaded complication of untreated Coats’ disease, it is of utmost importance to
achieve early diagnosis through clinical and radiological evaluation. The
appropriate treatment for Coats’ disease is based on the severity of disease.
Laser or cryotherapy has been most effective treatment along with adjuvant
therapy of antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
