Objective To analyze and summarize the clinical regulation and ocular fundus characteristics of the Coats diseases paients. Methods The clinical data of 205 Coats diseases (211 eyes) which including sex, age, which-eye and visual distribution were retrospectively analyzed. To analyze the region,scope, and degree of the disease according to the ophthalmoscopy, ocular fundus photography, and fundus fluorescein angiography results, in additon to invistigate the distribution and development rule of lesions. Results In 205 cases, Coats disease was diagnosed at a median age of 28 years old. There were 54.2% patients over 20 years old. It occurred in 76.1% males,and was unilateral in 97.1% patients. In 211 eyes, the visual acuity was below 0.3 in 67.3% eyes. The retinal telangiectasia occurred in all eyes, with yellow white lipid exudation in 90.5% eyes; located in temporal fundus in 90.1% eyes, in front of midperipheral 73.9% eyes; spread over one sector in 72.5% eyes. Conclusions Coats disease occurs mostly in males; it can occurrs in any age; it almost occurrs in unilateral. The essential characteritics are abnormal expansion of microvascular, mostly located in temporal fundus and in front of midperipheral, with yellow white lipid exudation, spread macular and damage visual function seriously.
