    Journal: Yan Ke Xue Bao; 2003 Sep; 19(3):168-70. PubMed ID: 14574974.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report a case of a macular hole in a female adult with bilateral Coats disease. METHODS: The fundus photograph, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) were performed in two eyes, and observed theirs characters. RESULTS: Fundus photograph showed massive yellowish-white exudation in the temporal midperiphery of both eyes, but the degree was slighter in the right eye. There was 1/3 DD macular hole in left eye. FFA revealed general dilatation of capillaries, multiple aneurysms, and tortuous and closure of vessels in superotemporal midperiphery in both eyes, but the degree was slighter in the right eye. There was a one-third DD round transmitted fluorescence according the macula hole. ICGA revealed that hyperfluorescence of aneurysms in superotemporal midperiphery, the images of aneurysms were more clearly than in FFA. There was a 2/3 DD hypoflurescence of macula in the late phase of angiography. CONCLUSIONS: FFA and ICGA have respective advantage in revealing vascular abnormalities of Coats disease. Maybe there was some relationship between the abnormalities of retinal vascular and hypoperfusion of choroidial vascular in macula in this case.
