Abstract
Background: Coats disease is a retinal disorder characterized by the abnormal dilation of blood vessels within the human retina. This study aimed to evaluate the electrooculography (EOG) in patients diagnosed with Coats disease.
Material and Methods: A total of 11 male patients (20 affected eyes) suffering from Coats disease were selected for this investigation. EOG measurements were conducted on the patient group using the Mangoni machine. Subsequently, the results were compared with an equivalent number of 11 normal participants (20 eyes) following the EOG test. Finally , statistical analysis was carried out.
Results: The case and control groups did not display significant differences in terms of age. However, a notable distinction was observed in the Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) between the two groups. Moreover, the comparison of the Arden Index (AI) of EOG showed values of 2.21 ± 0.23 and 2.20 ± 0.23 in the control and case groups, respectively. The difference in the mean AI of EOG was not statistically significant between the patients and the normal groups.
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that Coats disease does not seem to cause damage to the retina, particularly the retinal pigment epithelium, which is reflected in the Arden Index (AI) of the EOG wave. These results suggest that the retinal pigment epithelium remains relatively unaffected in individuals afflicted by Coats disease, as evidenced by the comparable AI values of the EOG wave between the patient and control groups.
