[Clinical observation on juvenile-children type of Coats' disease].
OBJECTIVE
To observe the clinical features and the effects of management of juvenile-children type of Coats' disease and to approach the classification of the disease.


METHODS
Fundus was examined and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) was made. Laser photocoagulation and cryotherapy were used for treatment.


RESULTS
Compared to adult type of Coats' disease, this type was characterized by early onset, severe macular lesion, rapid progression and poor visual prognosis. The vision in 75.0% of eyes was unchanged, and in 19.2% of eyes was improved after treatment.


CONCLUSIONS
Visual damage is more severe in this type. Early examination and early treatment are the key points to decrease visual deterioration. The classification of the disease is helpful in understanding the disease.
