Spontaneous resolution of total retinal detachment in coats disease.
OBJECTIVE
To present a case of a child with total retinal detachment secondary to Coats disease who failed different treatment modalities and then had spontaneous resolution of the retinal detachment years later.


METHODS
Case report.


RESULTS
After progressing to total retinal detachment despite multimodality therapy with intravitreal bevacizumab and laser photocoagulation for advanced Coats disease, the patient was watched routinely for almost 2 years. On routine follow-up, he was noted to have complete resolution of the total retinal detachment with a completely flat retina.


CONCLUSIONS
Resolution of advanced Coats disease with total retinal detachment rarely occurs.
