Excerpt
Coats’ disease is characterized by retinal vascular abnormalities, hemorrhage, exudation and, in severe cases, secondary retinal detachment. The condition generally presents in the first decade of life, although some cases are diagnosed in adulthood. It is most common in otherwise healthy boys. It makes up one of the more important differential diagnoses of childhood leukocoria, and differentiating it from some forms of ocular malignancy can be difficult.
