ABSTRACT

La enfermedad de Coats, es una vasculopatía retiniana idiopática que sin tratamiento puede progresar a desprendimiento de retina exudativo y glaucoma neovascular. Se considera una patología de difícil diagnóstico, por su presentación clínica que simula otras vasculopatías retinianas ó retinoblastoma. Resulta indispensable contar con herramientas clínicas y paraclínicas para llegar a un diagnóstico acertado y poder realizar un manejo adecuado y oportuno. Presentamos el caso de un niño de 17 años, con enfermedad de Coats valorado y tratado en el Hospital Militar Central de Bogotá desde los 5 años de edad; Se realiza seguimiento clínico de 12 años de evolución y se discuten posibles diagnósticos diferenciales.
