Intravitreal Dexamethasone Implant (Ozurdex) in Coats’ Disease

We injected an intravitreal dexamethasone implant in two eyes of 2 pediatric patients with Coats’ disease in addition to other treatment modalities, such as intravitreal ranibizumab injection and indirect laser photocoagulation. In both eyes, intraocular pressure moderately rose in a temporary fashi...

description We injected an intravitreal dexamethasone implant in two eyes of 2 pediatric patients with Coats’ disease in addition to other treatment modalities, such as intravitreal ranibizumab injection and indirect laser photocoagulation. In both eyes, intraocular pressure moderately rose in a temporary fashion. The dexamethasone implant seems to be a valuable addition to the armamentarium of treatment options for Coats’ disease as it necessitates fewer injections than anti-VEGF injections and thereby fewer sessions of general anesthesia in the pediatric population.
