Multimodal treatment of Coats-like exudative vitreoretinopathy in Goldmann-Favre syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To report a Coats-like exudative vitreoretinopathy in Goldmann-Favre syndrome.

Observations

A 64 year-old woman with prior diagnosis of retinal dystrophy presented with decreased vision in the right eye (OD). Ophthalmologic examination was remarkable for bilateral arteriolar attenuation, mid-peripheral bony-spicules, and waxy disc pallor. Coats-like exudative vitreoretinopathy and cystoid macular edema were present OD. Genetic testing showed a homozygous pathogenic mutation in gene NR2E3, variant c.932G>A (p.Arg311Gln), consistent with Goldmann-Favre syndrome. Targeted laser ablation and combination intravitreal therapy were effective in decreasing macular edema.

Conclusions and importance

A Coats-like exudative vitreoretinopathy may occur in the settin
