To review current literature on Coats disease and provide a structured framework for differentiating challenging clinical features in Coats disease patients.
We critically reappraise historical and current literature and present clinical methods for developing a thorough differential diagnosis and management strategy for Coats disease.
Coats disease is a sporadic, usually unilateral condition typically occurring in young males. When untreated, this disorder can lead to total exudative retinal detachment and secondary glaucoma.
Anti-VEGF agents are currently a treatment option in combination with ablative therapy of telangiectatic vessels. Anti-VEGF agents appear particularly useful for patients with extensive areas of exudative retinal detachment, and are an effective treatment option for total retinal detachment.
回顾关于科茨病的当前文献,并为区分科茨病患者具有挑战性的临床特征提供一个结构化框架。
我们严格重新评估历史和当前文献,并介绍用于制定科茨病全面鉴别诊断和管理策略的临床方法。
科茨病是一种散发性疾病,通常为单侧发病,多见于年轻男性。若不治疗,这种疾病可导致完全性渗出性视网膜脱离和继发性青光眼。
抗血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)药物目前是与扩张性血管的消融治疗联合使用的一种治疗选择。抗VEGF药物对于有大面积渗出性视网膜脱离的患者似乎特别有用,并且是完全性视网膜脱离的一种有效治疗选择。
