Clinical characteristics and management outcomes of pediatric patients with Coats disease complicated with retinoschisis (retinal cyst).

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To present the clinical characteristics and management outcomes of Coats disease with retinoschisis (retinal cyst).

Methods

This was a retrospective review of 13 eyes from 13 consecutive Coats disease patients with retinal cyst. Clinical findings from multimodal ophthalmic imaging were recorded to characterize retinal cyst in Coats disease. All eyes were initially treated with endolaser photocoagulation combined with external drainage of cystic fluid and intravitreal ranibizumab injection. Patients were subsequently followed up to analyze anatomic and visual outcomes.

Results

All retinal cysts were associated with extensive retinal exudation; 3 eyes (23.1%) presented with exudative retinal detachment. A total of 92.3% (12/13) of the retinal cysts were located
