Comparison of Optical Coherence Tomography With Fundus Photographs, Fluorescein Angiography, and Histopathologic Analysis in Assessing Coats Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Coats disease is a rare pediatric vitreoretinopathy that can cause devastating visual and anatomic outcomes.

Objective

To compare optical coherence tomography (OCT) with fundus photographs, fluorescein angiography (FA), and histopathologic findings in Coats disease.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a single tertiary institution (Duke Eye Center) and identified 28 children with Coats disease through a review of medical records from December 2002 to January 2018. Four eyes were obtained from a biorepository for histopathologic analysis.

Main outcomes and measures

Macular OCT, fundus photographs, and FA results were reviewed and compared for morphological changes. These were compared with retinal histopa
