Treatment of Coats' disease with photocoagulation

M Spitznas et al. Albrecht Von Graefes Arch Klin Exp Ophthalmol. .

Abstract

71 eyes with Coats' disease were treated with photocoagulation. By coagulation of the abnormal vessels the disease process could be halted in 64 eyes over a mean observation time of 2 years and 3 months after completion of treatment. In 51 of these eyes the lipoid deposits regressed. In only 7 eyes a progression of the disease could not be prevented. Complications of photocoagulation treatment were not observed.
