The management of exudative retinal detachment in Coats disease can be very difficult with variable results. A case is presented of a 12 year old boy who was diagnosed with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa with an associated “Coat's Response”. The patient had a marked reduction in his left visual acuity due to intragel and subhyaloid haemorrhage as well as exudative retinal detachment. This was managed successfully with vitrectomy and endolaser, resulting in clearance of the haemorrhage and flattening of the retina. In our experience endolaser should be considered as viable therapeutic option in the management of this condition.

Abstract Background To report undescribed characteristics of patients with bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation (BDUMP) on ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and high-frequency B-scan ultrasonography. Case presentation Two of four participants presented with worsening bilateral vision after previously diagnosed primary pulmonary or ovarian carcinoma. The other two patients were diagnosed with lung carcinoma after presentation with BDUMP. All patients had ciliary body nevi-like lesion in combination with iris or ciliary body cysts, and uveal thickening on UBM. Focally elevated choroidal nevi-like lesion and exudative retinal detachment with choroidal thickening were detected with B-scan ultrasonography. Conclusions Our case series demonstrates the uveal characteristics of patients with BDUMP based on high-frequency B-scan ultrasonography and UBM. Ultrasonographic findings are crucial in the diagnosis of BDUMP because it is occult in nature.

Coats’ disease is an idiopathic disorder defined by an abnormal development of retinal vessels with a progressive deposition of intraretinal or subretinal exudates, leading to exudative retinal detachment. The most difficult task is to differentiate Coats’ disease from retinoblastoma. We present a rare case of Coats’ disease diagnosed in a 3-year-old girl. From the age of 6 months, the girl was followed up 2 times a year at the Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, due to congenital convergent strabismus and refractive errors. At the age of 3.6 years, a routine examination of the fundus of the right eye revealed hard exudates, telangiectasia and tortuosity, gray color lesion below the optic nerve disc, submacular exudation in the inferior nasal part of the retina, and exudative retinal detachment, which extended from the 7-o’clock position to the 4-o’clock position. Before this examination, no abnormalities were found in the fundus of her both eyes. The girl was not treated with laser photocoagulation, cryocoagulation, or intravitreal injections, as the diagnosis of retinoblastoma could not be excluded; therefore, only eye drops were prescribed. In order to exclude the diagnosis of retinoblastoma, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography were carried out, and an appointment to see an ophthalmic oncologist was scheduled. Due to early and appropriate treatment, the progression of Coats’ disease in patients could be arrested. However, in some cases, when the diagnosis is ambiguous, it is better to follow up the patient and to treat only with eye drops.
