Coat's Disease, first reported in 1908, is a rare disease which is usually seen in young males presenting with complaints of unilateral vision loss. Microscopically, retinal telangiectasis and exudative retinal detachment is seen. Attempts should be made for differentiating and early detection of this disease to avoid enucleation of eye ball. Here we discuss a case report of a child manifesting as coat's disease in which a clinical diagnosis of Retinoblastoma was given and eye was enucleated.
寇茨病于1908年首次报道,是一种罕见疾病,通常见于有单侧视力丧失主诉的年轻男性。在显微镜下,可见视网膜毛细血管扩张和渗出性视网膜脱离。应努力对该疾病进行鉴别和早期检测,以避免眼球摘除。在此,我们讨论一例表现为寇茨病的儿童病例报告,该病例曾被临床诊断为视网膜母细胞瘤并接受了眼球摘除术。
