Abstract

Coats disease , first described by George Coats in 1908, is a nonhereditary condition occurring mostly in children and has a male predominance. It has no known systemic manifestations. It is quite rare in adults and runs a benign course. In adults it presents with typical features of Coats disease with vascular telangiectasia, lipid exudation , areas of capillary nonperfusion and exudative retinal detachment. We present a case of repeated episodes of mild blurring of vision OD since 2 years in a 34 year old male. Anterior segment was within normal limits OD , OS. Posterior segment was normal OS . OD showed ring of exudates and retinal telangiectatic vessels in superotemporal area. He was treated with intravitreal anti vascular endothelial growth factor and sectoral laser photocoagulation.
