title: [Tactics of treating children with Coat's disease].
abstract: Fifty children with Coats disease, aged 2 months to 12 years (mean age 8.25 +/- 2.72 years), were observed. Four stages are distinguished in the disease course: initial, moderate, advanced, and terminal. Treatment including extensive retinal argon laser coagulation, cryotherapy, scleral bucking, and subretinal liquid draining was carried out in 32 children (33 eyes). Stable anatomic results were attained in 97% eyes. Visual acuity of at least 0.02 was retained in 87.9% children.
