| Abstract: | Purpose: To present a case of a child with total retinal detachment secondary to Coats disease who failed different treatment modalities and then had spontaneous resolution of the retinal detachment years later. Methods: Case report. Results: After progressing to total retinal detachment despite multimodality therapy with intravitreal bevacizumab and laser photocoagulation for advanced Coats disease, the patient was watched routinely for almost 2 years. On routine follow-up, he was noted to have complete resolution of the total retinal detachment with a completely flat retina. Conclusion: Resolution of advanced Coats disease with total retinal detachment rarely occurs. Copyright © by Ophthalmic Communications Society, Inc. |
