TI  - Intraretinal Exudates in Coats' Disease as Demonstrated by Spectral-Domain OCT.
PG  - 11-5
LID - 10.1159/000335897 [doi]
AB  - PURPOSE: To describe the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) 
      findings in a case of Coats' disease, with emphasis on the intraretinal exudates. 
      METHODS: Case report of a 4.5-year-old girl who presented with total exudative 
      retinal detachment and organized exudates in a stellate configuration. SD-OCT was 
      performed before and after treatment, which included surgical drainage of 
      subretinal fluid and indirect laser application during the surgery. RESULTS: At 
      presentation, the SD-OCT showed an elevation of the foveal contour, with 
      thickening of the retina, many exudates and a large quantity of subretinal fluid. 
      Two months after the surgical treatment, SD-OCT revealed a significant reduction 
      in the amount of subretinal fluids, but with persistence of the exudates. 
      CONCLUSION: SD-OCT can be used as an important tool in order to describe the 
      changes in each layer of the retina in Coats' disease. Considering the 
      histopathological findings in Coats' disease, it is reasonable to assume that the 
      exudates accumulate in the outer plexiform layer.
