Abstract

We conducted retinal neovascularization under subfoveal fibrotic nodule for Coats disease by using optic coherence tomography-angiography before and after ranibizumab treatment. Our patient was an 8-year-old boy who was referred with suspicious left retinal mass. His visual acuity was 20/400 in the left eye and 20/20 in the right eye at the time of admission. Posterior segment evaluation of the left eye revealed telengiectatic vessels at the inferotemporal region of the peripheral retina with hard exudates around the optic disc and macula typical for Coats disease. His optic coherence tomography revealed a subfoveal fibrotic nodule after ranibizumab injections and laser photocoagulation treatment. The optic coherence tomography-angiography results revealed neovascularization under the subfoveal nodule at the superficial vascular complex layer. After 3 intravitreal ranibizumab injections, his neovascularization regressed on optic coherence tomography-angiography and his visual acuity improved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating neovascularization under the subfoveal fibrotic nodule in Coats disease on the basis of comparative with the help of optic coherence tomography-angiography before and after the treatment.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 May 2021.
All research outputs
#22,774,430
of 25,387,668 outputs
Outputs from Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia
#321
of 445 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#448,987
of 519,506 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia
#16
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,387,668 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 445 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.5. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 519,506 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
