RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 03/31/2020

This patient has a history of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with severe but stable traction with retinal folds extending from the optic nerve into the inferotemporal periphery.

The diffuse chorioretinal scarring is due to chronic retinal traction.

Learning Points:
These types of outcomes can be minimized with aggressive neonatal screening and treatment with laser photocoagulation and anti-VEGF agents.
