Adult-onset Coats ’ disease

Coats disease is an idiopathic retinal vasculopathy characterized by telangiectasia and aneurysm of retinal vessels along with intra- and subretinal exudation and fluid. It was first described by George Coats in 1908. [21] Theodor von Leber described another disease with similar features, but without the massive exudation of Coats disease and termed it Leber multiple miliary aneurysms; [58] however, later it was concluded by Reese that Leber multiple miliary aneurysm is an early stage of Coats disease.
