Integrating Scleral Buckling, Transscleral Drainage of Subretinal Fluid, Intravitreal Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, and Laser Photocoagulation in Stage 3B Coats' Total Retinal Detachment.

The integration of quadruple therapy in a 13-year-old boy with stage 3B Coats' disease achieved retinal reattachment and visual improvement. Scleral buckling might play a role in retinal detachment in Coats' disease, although it has previously been considered insignificant. Instead of performing vitrectomy and internal drainage with a drainage hole in the retina, less-invasive procedures that do not require retinotomy appear to be beneficial in cases of advanced Coats' disease.
