Retinopathy of prematurity [PDF]
Intensive Care Medicine, 1995 This review deals with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a disease characterized by retinovitreal neovascularization, eventually retinal detachment and blindness. Due to the increasing number of extremely premature newborns, it is becoming more frequent.

This article briefly reviews the history of ROP followed by a discussion of the pathogenesis of this complex disorder. We describe the International Classification System for ROP and identify risk factors and screening recommendations. Finally, we discuss some of the measures that have been used in an attempt to both prevent and treat ROP.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a rapidly evolving area of pediatric ophthalmology. Over the past decade, a new understanding of the pathophysiology of ROP has emerged. Advances in clinical research have lead to modifications in screening criteria and treatment guidelines for ROP.

RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY [PDF]
Ophthalmology Clinics of North America, 2001 The majority of cases of ROP regress spontaneously, but better treatment methods are needed to prevent retinal detachment and other effects of ROP such as myopia. In the future, molecular mechanisms may be exploited to treat ROP.

The wide spectrum of radiation retinopathic manifestations from local or external beam irradiation is described in 36 eyes. The most commonly encountered ophthalmoscopic signs of retinopathy include retinal hard exudates, hemorrhages, microaneurysms, cotton-wool spots, and telangiectases.

Diabetes Care, 2004 Diabetic retinopathy is the most frequent cause of new cases of blindness among adults aged 20 –74 years. During the first two decades of disease, nearly all patients with type 1 diabetes and 60% of patients with type 2 diabetes have retinopathy. In the Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy (WESDR), 3.6% of younger-onset patients (type ...

We report the case of a 63-year-old woman with Takayasu's arteritis who experienced progressive visual loss in her right eye (RE) over several months. Visual acuity was 0.4 in the RE, which showed marked retinal arteriovenous dilation and highly irregular arteriolar calibre.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a common blinding disease in children in the developed world despite current treatment, and is becoming increasingly prevalent in the developing world. ROP progresses in two phases. The first phase begins with delayed retinal vascular growth after birth and partial regression of existing vessels, followed by a second

ROP is a blinding eye disease of premature infants that affects more than 80% of babies born with birthweight less than 1000 g. With the current understanding of etiology and treatment, all infants born at less than 1500 g should receive regular ROP eye examinations starting at 4 weeks chronologic age or 31 weeks postconceptional age, whichever is ...
