Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) for treatment of cystoid foveal edema (CFE) associated with Coats' disease.
Methods And Patient: A 32-year-old man with a 28-month history of Coats' disease received an intravitreal TA injection (4 mg) in the right eye.
Results: Visual acuity improved from 20/200 to 20/50, and foveal thickness decreased from 701 μm to 216 μm 45 days after treatment.
Conclusion: Intravitreal TA injection might temporarily improve visual acuity in eyes with CFE associated with Coats' disease.
