Abstract | BACKGROUND: MATERIALS AND METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: We report the case of two brothers with Coats Plus syndrome who presented with variable phenotypic expression. One sibling (Patient 1) was thought to have atypical retinopathy of prematurity and was only diagnosed with Coats plus after his older brother (Patient 2) presented with a seizure and a left upper extremity tremor at 4 years of age. The CTC1 mutation was confirmed in both patients. Aggressive treatment with laser photocoagulation and intravitreal bevacizumab dramatically improved the retinal vascular and exudative changes. CONCLUSION:
