Management of Vasoproliferative Tumor in a Patient With Coats' Disease: Multiple Therapeutic Approach in Current Era

Le résumé fourni par la source

This case report describes a vasoproliferative tumor in a 16-year-old male patient with Coats' disease, treated with laser photocoagulation, cryoablation, and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections therapies, that developed an epiretinal membrane as a complication. The surgical treatment in association with the retinal laser treatment greatly improved visual acuity. At 8 months follow-up from surgery, visual acuity had significantly improved, and macular anatomy recovered. Vasoproliferative tumors may occur in patients with Coats' disease, and in such a clinical scenario, a multiple therapeutical approach should be considered, in order to reach the best anatomical and functional outcome for the patient.
