Anterior Chamber Cholesterolosis in a 1-Year-Old Patient with Coats' Disease. A Case Report.

Anterior chamber cholesterolosis is a rare complication of Coats' disease, reported in less than 3% of patients. Exclusion of retinoblastoma-associated masquerade syndrome is essential in the differential diagnosis. In comparison with previously published cases of anterior chamber cholesterolosis as a complicating factor in Coats' disease, we have observed a similar character and course of the disease in patients with onset in early childhood. However, a difference can be observed in the therapeutic approach. In all the previously reported cases, the painful eye was enucleated. In our case, preserving the blind eye through a more conservative surgical approach proved beneficial.
