Coats disease is an idiopathic entity, characterized by unilateral abnormal telangiectatic or aneurismal retinal vessels associated with intraretinal and subretinal lipid deposits.<\/p>\n

Coats is predominantly a disease of childhood. Males are affected up to four times as frequently as females.<\/p>\n

The disease is classified into three groups. Group I has massive subretinal exudates, no vascular abnormalities, and a choroidal mononuclear infiltrate. Group II also has massive subretinal exudates, retinal vascular abnormalities and no choroidal mononuclear infiltrate. Group III again has massive exudates with arteriovenous malformations.<\/p>\n
