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 ma...

Background Surgeries for retinal reattachment form the main stay of treatment for rhegmatogenous, tractional and combined retinal detachment. However, they do not form the first line of management in exudative retinal detachment. Massive exudative retinal detachment not responding to the conventional line of treatment or not permitting the performance of conventional line of treatment is chosen...

A 15-year-old boy presented with painless progressive blurring of vision in the right eye for 1 year in duration. His visual acuity in the right eye was hand movement. The right fundus showed presence of extensive subretinal exudates at the posterior pole and a retinal macrocyst at the temporal periphery. It was associated with exudative retinal detachment at the inferior periphery of the retin...

PURPOSE To report a case of bilateral bullous exudative retinal detachment in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) which was attached by vitrectomy and internal drainage of the subretinal fluid. METHODS A 47-year-old man affected by bilateral atypical CSC with a bullous retinal detachment with subretinal exudate. A fluorescein angiogram (FAG) showed multiple points of leakage and staining o...

Takayasu arteritis is a relatively rare inflammatory arteritis that can be associated with ocular manifestations. We report four patients with proven Takayasu arteritis; two patients manifested hypoperfusive ocular manifestations of ocular ischemic syndrome and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy whilst two others had exudative retinal detachment and papilledema as a result of severe hypertensio...

We report an unusual case of Behçet disease presenting with retinal vasculitis and unilateral exudative retinal detachment. A 24 years old man presented with 1 week history of acute vision loss of both eyes. He reported a 3 years history of recurrent oral and genital ulcerations, with arthralgia of wrists and ankles. The best correct visual acuity was 6/30 in the right eye and 6/24 in the left ...

CASE REPORT We report a case of Coats' disease in a 10-year-old-girl who presented with a profound visual deficit, exudative retinal detachment, vascular telangiectasias and subretinal lipid, who underwent treatment with an intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (AVASTIN(TM)). Serial examinations documented an involutional response with a reduction of the subretinal fluid, exudates and macular t...

Retinal detachment is a potentially blinding condition. It is caused by separation of neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. Despite treatment advances, functional results remain poor (with only 42% achieving 6/12 vision and only 28% if the macula is involved). There are three distinct types of retinal detachment: rhegmatogenous (RRD), tractional and exudative. For ...
