Coats Plus Syndrome
Cerebroretinal Microangiopathy with Calcifications and Cysts
Exudative retinopathy and vitreos hemorrhage in cerebroretinal microangiopathy with calcifications and cysts
Presentation
- We speculate the important role of Notch signaling in this complex phenotypic presentation of Coats plus syndrome and dextrocardia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Here, we describe eight previously unreported cases, and present an update on one of the original Coats plus patients to highlight the emerging core clinical features of the "cerebroretinal microangiopathy with calcification and cysts" (CRMCC) phenotype[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The majority of affected children present with symptoms and signs relating to the eyes such as leukokoria, redness, irritation and impaired vision, which result from retinal detachment and glaucoma. A minority present with seizures or spasticity.[en.wikipedia.org]
- Linnankivi et al. [2006] reported 6 patients with CRMCC presenting with transfusion dependent anaemia secondary to occult intestinal bleeding.[doi.org]
- Presents new pharmacotherapy data and the latest approaches in anti-VEGF therapy for age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and venous occlusive disease.[books.google.com]
Entire Body System
Short Stature
- We conclude that the CRMCC-associated bone disease is characterized by low BMD and pathological fractures with delayed healing, metaphyseal changes, and short stature pre- and postnatally. LRP5 is not a disease-causing gene in CRMCC.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- We conclude that the CRMCC‐associated bone disease is characterized by low BMD and pathological fractures with delayed healing, metaphyseal changes, and short stature pre‐ and postnatally.[doi.org]

- However, we note that the degree of short stature, absence of the thumbs and deafness seen in our case have not previously been reported in CRMCC.[doi.org]
- Get Update Overview Peters plus syndrome is a genetic condition characterized by abnormalities of the front part of the eye called the anterior chamber, short stature, cleft lip with or without cleft palate, and distinctive facial features.[diseaseinfosearch.org]
Splenectomy
- Repeated blood transfusions may be needed to control anemia, and thrombocytopenia can be managed with splenectomy. The neurological symptoms are progressive and can lead to severe spasticity, bulbar symptoms and dysarthria within one to two decades.[en.wikipedia.org]

Musculoskeletal
Osteopenia
- Here we report a probable case of CRMCC with pre- and postnatal growth restriction, bilateral exudative retinopathy, a pathognomonic pattern of intracranial calcification, white matter disease, osteopenia with a tendency to fractures, and chronic gastrointestinal[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Our results show that the skeletal phenotype in CRMCC includes (1) compromised longitudinal growth pre- and postnatally, (2) generalized osteopenia or early onset low turnover osteoporosis with fragility fractures, and (3) metaphyseal abnormalities that[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Coats plus syndrome is an autosomal recessive, pleiotropic, multisystem disorder characterized by retinal telangiectasia and exudates, intracranial calcification with leukoencephalopathy and brain cysts, osteopenia with predisposition to fractures, bone[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The osteopenia and tendency to fractures is also in keeping with the diagnosis.[doi.org]
- Additional features include poor prenatal growth, preterm birth, anemia, osteopenia and bone fractures, and gastrointestinal bleeding.[en.wikipedia.org]
Skin
Sparse Hair
- In the latter, a progressive formation of parenchymal brain cysts is a special feature, whereas Coats plus is characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, bilateral retinal telangiectasias and exudations (Coats disease), sparse hair, and dysplastic[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- hair, dystrophic nails, and primeval splashes of intracranial calcification.[doi.org]
- Some individuals have sparse hair, abnormal pigmentation of the skin, and dysplastic nails as well. Some extraretinal features are also found in patients with dyskeratosis congenita ( 127550 ), and in Labrune syndrome ( 614561 ).[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Workup
- These patients are often family members of a patient with advanced disease, who are identified during the screening workup for suspected FEVR.[reviewofophthalmology.com]
Treatment
- Treatment with a combination of oral oestrogen and progesterone ameliorated the gastrointestinal blood loss such that monthly blood transfusions could be stopped.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- We characterized the patients’ phenotype, recapitulated it in a zebrafish model and rescued cellular and clinical aspects by the ectopic expression of wild-type STN1 or by thalidomide treatment.[gene-tools.com]
- Treatment Treatment Options: No treatment for the general condition has been reported. Specific treatment for the retinal vascular and brain lesions might be of benefit.[disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

- Prognosis The prognosis depends on the extent of the disease with milder, older presenting cases, having a better prognosis, of even spontaneous regression, whereas children under the age of three have a poorer prognosis.[eyewiki.aao.org]
- […] syndrome is a group of heterogeneous degenerative neurological disorders, which differ from the classical idiopathic Parkinson's disease in certain associated clinical features, poor response to levodopa, distinctive pathological characteristics and poor prognosis[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Such deposits have high concentrations of protein, cholesterol, hemosiderin-laden macrophages, and RPE cells with fibrous metaplasia. 16,17 This can lead to subfoveal fibrotic nodules with a particularly poor prognosis.[reviewofophthalmology.com]
- Prognosis for Coats’ disease The prognosis for Coats’ disease depends on a number of different factors, including how early the condition is diagnosed and how quickly it develops—i.e., how aggressive it is.[eyehealthweb.com]
Etiology
- These characteristics help to clearly identify ROP as a causative etiology. The classic finding in FEVR is peripheral retinal capillary nonperfusion.[reviewofophthalmology.com]
- Based on histopathologic findings, some authors believe that cerebral microangiopathy is the possible etiology of LCC [ 6 , 12 ].[link.springer.com]
- In conclusion, the etiology of LCC remains unknown. In spite of relatively characteristic findings in imaging and histopathological examination, there is no uniformity in the clinical findings noted in the published articles.[scielo.br]
- The etiology is unknown; in some cases it is difficult to differentiate from Coats plus syndrome and diagnosed as cerebroretinal microangiopathy with calcifications and cysts.[pubfacts.com]
