COMBINATION INTRAVITREAL TRIAMCINOLONE INJECTION AND CRYOTHERAPY FOR EXUDATIVE RETINAL DETACHMENTS IN SEVERE COATS DISEASE

Abstract
Intravitreal triamcinolone injection effectively reduces subretinal fluid in pediatric patients with exudative retinal detachments in severe Coats disease. However, when combined with cryotherapy, a large percentage of patients develop rhegmatogenous retinal detachments with proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
