Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Coats'-like changes, characterized by retinal telangiectasia and exudative detachment, are observed in 1.2-3.6% of retinitis pigmentosa patients.
  • Severe cases can result in total retinal detachment and vision loss, particularly in long-standing retinitis pigmentosa.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and analyze reported cases of Coats'-type retinitis pigmentosa.
  • To discuss the historical, epidemiological, hereditary, clinical, and histopathological aspects of this condition.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
  • Forty-six cases of Coats'-type retinitis pigmentosa were gathered and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • The review encompasses historical and epidemiological data, hereditary factors, clinical presentations, and histopathological findings.
  • Discussion includes pathogenesis, differential diagnosis, prognosis, and potential treatment strategies for Coats'-type retinitis pigmentosa.

Conclusions:

  • Coats'-type retinitis pigmentosa is a recognized entity that requires careful consideration in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.
  • Understanding its multifaceted aspects is crucial for diagnosis, management, and patient counseling.
