- Description
- Coats' disease. An exudative detachment of the retina is shown with typical yellowish material and associated vascular abnormalities and some retinal hemorrhage (upper left). Fluorescein angiography shows capillary drop-out of the macroaneurysms and dilated telangiectatic vessels. Venous saccular dilatations also may be present (upper right). With trypsin digestion the background capillaries are acellular, and large, thin-walled telangiectatic vessels (lower left) and microaneurysms are present (lower right).
