Objective:
To analyze the clinical features and misdiagnostic causes of Coats disease.
Methods:
The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed in 69 eyes of 68 patients with Coats disease.
Results:
Misdiagnostic histories to a varying degree occurred in 11 of the 68 cases with a misdiagnosis rate of 16.18% and misdiagnostic mean time of 7.5 months.
Conclusion:
Lack of knowledge on pathogenic characteristics of Coats disease, lack of typical manifestations, no timely accessory examinations, and advanced cases are the main causes of misdiagnosis.
