forms of multiple sclerosis, after four years of using fingolimod (also known by its brand name Gilenya), another drug used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, she was switched to cladribine. On day five of her second cycle of cladribine, she reported a shadow in her right eye, of which on day seven during an eye exam a cotton wool spot was found in the same eye. Six weeks after completing the second cycle of cladribine, the reported cotton wool spot was still present albeit reduced in size. At the 12-week mark, her vision returned to normal and the cotton wool spot was undetectable after 10 months. The study postulates the possibility that cladribine use may cause cotton wool spots due to its side effects of lymphopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, pancytopenia, and infections as well as the timing of the formation of cotton wool spots in line with cladribine use in a person who otherwise had no risk factors for cotton wool spots as well as the resolution of cotton wool spots once off cladribine for an extended period of time.

wool spots appear much smaller in HIV/AIDS in comparison to the cotton wool spots that appear in diabetes. Although, the difference in duration or half-life of the cotton wool spots may be a result of differing demographics that are affected by the underlying diseases and the overall health of the retinal vessels affected. In addition, it is thought that age may play a factor for the duration of cotton wool spots in diabetic patients. In one study, cotton wool spots were found to have a shorter duration in diabetic patients under forty years old compared to the cotton wool spots in diabetic patients over forty years old. Although there is no direct treatment of cotton wool spots, targeting the underlying origin of the disease can be beneficial in treating the cotton wool spots.

indicators of being immunocompromised, and having blood pressures under 140/90 mm Hg (no chronic hypertension), presented with cotton wool spots in one of their eyes. Since no other risk factors were present and the common factor between the four subjects was chronic migraines, the study postulates that vasospastic syndromes common in those with chronic migraines may lead to ischemia in the eyes leading to the formation of cotton wool spots, as cotton wool spots can also act as an indicator of general vasospastic activity.

In a study of 123 subjects with vision loss due to early stage giant cell arteritis, one-third of subjects had cotton wool spots present in their eyes. Furthermore, because giant cell arteritis can lead to loss of vision and is associated with cotton wool spots, it is recommended to investigate for giant cell arteritis if cotton wool spots are found. 225:
include a complete blood count, basic metabolic panel, digestive enzymes such as amylase and lipase, and even several blood pressure measurements. Another method of diagnosis or screening is through the use of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) which follows the cotton wool spots and their progression. The emergence of advanced technological tools like SD-OCT are providing new insight of neurosensory retinal health
71:. These associated findings are common due to the underlying diseases causing these manifestations seen in the eyes. Because of the use of cotton wool spots more as an indicator of other systemic diseases, Mcleod had proposed that the taxonomy of the terms 'cotton wool spot' should be changed to something else to help better understand its true meaning. 80:
to these nerves may result from organelle accumulation in the axons. This is further purported by the presence of cytoid bodies in ganglion axon cells, where the accumulation of white blood cells, more specifically, eosinophils, mitochondria, and other cellular material lead to swelling of the ganglion axon cells which then lead to cotton wool spots.

These fluffy white spots are often accompanied by additional abnormal funduscopic findings such as intraretinal bleeds, hard exudates, and atypical small blood vessels, including obstructed or dilated blood vessels and

Currently there are no direct treatments for cotton wool spots, however, they may fade away or disappear completely on their own in about 6 to 12 weeks. The duration of cotton wool spots typically depends on the underlying disease state that caused the cotton wool spots to appear. For example, cotton

Cotton wool spots are commonly caused by changes to the retina secondary to diabetes, hypertension, or blockages to blood vessels to the retina, such as central retinal vein occlusion.

Cotton wool spots present as opaque fluffy white spots, sometimes with feather-like edges, on the retina when seen on a funduscopic exam. These opaque white areas are typically asymptomatic, but may cause some vision loss due to the underlying disease state. Cotton wool spots are a retinal condition

To ensure proper etiology and diagnosis, those presenting with symptoms would require a thorough history and eye exam which includes dilated retinal evaluation. Depending on the findings, a person may require further workup including blood tests to explore other potential causes. The blood work may

can also lead to the appearance of cotton wool spots. Although they are associated with multiple systemic diseases, it is possible for there to be an unknown etiology that would require further investigation. Cotton wool spots have different clinical characteristics when present as a result of HIV

Another proposed associated cause of cotton wool spots is chronic migraines. In a study of four subjects, two male and two female, with chronic migraines and no other present risk factors for cotton wool spots, such as normal hemoglobin A1C and blood glucose (indicating no diabetic risk), no

The presence of cotton wool spots may resolve independently over time, typically in 4–12 weeks, or may depend on the underlying disease causing the condition. Diagnosis and treatment of the underlying disease state may be beneficial in the treatment and management of cotton wool spots.

As there are many causes of cotton wool spots, oftentimes ophthalmologists will convey the findings to the person's primary health care provider and emphasize that the appearance of cotton wool spots may need workup to investigate the root cause and proper treatment pathway.

However, funduscopic exams that find patchy opaque areas on the retina may misdiagnose the condition as cotton wool spots instead of transient branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) which also does not effect vision and self-resolves.
