Abstract
Classically, patients with Coats’ disease present with a leukocoria, strabismus, and poor vision. These patients are mostly male (3:1) and usually between 2 and 16 years of age. Certainly more than 66% of the cases appear before the end of the first decade of life. Some believe that there are patients who have presented at birth with Coats’ disease.
