Resolution of severe macular oedema in adult Coat's syndrome with highdose intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide

Objective To report the clinical outcome of a patient who received high-dose intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide as treatment for severe macular oedema secondary to adult Coat's syndrome. Method Case report. Results A 74-year-old Indian man complaining of chronic gradual blurring of vision in the left eye was found to have adult Coat's syndrome with severe macular oedema. He received 25mg of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide following unsuccessful resolution with grid laser. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated up to 75% decrease in macular oedema that was evident even after 9 months follow-up. However, there was no significant improvement in visual acuity. Conclusion Intravitreal triamcinolone is a reasonable option in reducing severe macular oedema in cases of adult Coat's syndrome.
