J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2005 Nov-Dec;42(6):367-8. doi: 10.3928/01913913-20051101-06.

Abstract

A 9-year-old boy presented with an exudative retinal detachment, vascular telangiectasias, subretinal lipid, and retinal macrocyst formation. He underwent three sessions of large-spot diode laser for the treatment of Coats' disease. Serial examinations and fundus photography documented an excellent involutional response with an improvement in visual acuity.
