Case 5. Fovea-involving peripheral Coats-like disease in a 62-year-old woman who slept in the lateral-nasal position (inset 1). A A color fundus image shows the chronic temporal peripheral exudation recently affecting the fovea; the visual acuity (VA) was 20/150. A spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) image shows the foveal and temporal intraretinal hyperreflective exudates. B–D Images obtained at 8, 16, and 24 weeks, respectively, after the first change in the patient’s sleep position to the lateral-down high position (inset 2), followed by one intravitreal injection of Ozurdex (arrowhead) and laser treatment. The VA improved to 20/40. SD-OCT shows progressing partial resolution of the exudation
