Leukocoria is an aberration of the eyeball that interferes with normal reflection. It shows up as a white or gray pupillary reflex rather than the bright red or orange pupil of the other eye. Leukocoria can be brought on by a variety of ocular pathologies, with retinoblastoma being the most common. We present the case of a 17-month-old guy who had unilateral leukocoria and whose orbital MRI was ordered on the basis of retinoblastoma suspicion. The results, however, were more suggestive of Coats disease than retinoblastoma. Telangiectasia and exudate, which frequently afflict males' unilateral eyes, are the hallmarks of Coats' illness. Depending on the stage of the disease, there are differences in its severity, course, and outlook. It is crucial to get therapy and a diagnosis for retinal problems as soon as possible. Although uncommon, there are still many people who are not familiar with Coats' disease. This paper aims to describe imaging findings in Coats' disease.
白瞳症是一种影响正常反射的眼球异常。它表现为白色或灰色的瞳孔反射,而不是另一只眼睛明亮的红色或橙色瞳孔。白瞳症可由多种眼部疾病引起,其中视网膜母细胞瘤最为常见。我们报告一例17个月大的男性患者,他患有单侧白瞳症,因怀疑视网膜母细胞瘤而进行了眼眶磁共振成像(MRI)检查。然而,结果更提示为科茨病而非视网膜母细胞瘤。毛细血管扩张和渗出液常累及男性单侧眼睛,是科茨病的特征。根据疾病阶段不同,其严重程度、病程和预后有所差异。尽早对视网膜问题进行治疗和诊断至关重要。尽管科茨病不常见,但仍有许多人对此并不熟悉。本文旨在描述科茨病的影像学表现。
