Comparison of Adult and Pediatric Eyes With Coats Disease Using Multimodal Imaging.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To compare the clinical features, imaging findings, and treatment outcomes between adults and children with Coats disease. Methods: This retrospective, multicenter, observational case series comprised adult and pediatric patients with Coats disease treated between 2016 and 2022. Results: The study included 19 eyes from 10 children and 8 adults. The median age at presentation in children was 6 years (range, 2-17) and in adults was 29 years (range, 24-61). Children presented at later stages of disease compared with adults. The median total clock hours of exudation were greater (2.5 vs 1, P = .01) in children, and macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings, including subretinal and intraretinal fluid, were more common (60% vs 11%, P = .03)
