Retinopathy of Prematurity [PDF]
ROP is a challenging disease of the decade of the 1980s. Answers, even partial answers, to many of its questions may provide information bearing on those same questions in other blinding vascular retinopathies, such as diabetes and sickle cell disease. Answers more clearly defining the role of oxygen, ventilation, antioxidants, blood transfusions, and ...

Retinopathy of prematurity [PDF]
The immature retinas of preterm neonates are susceptible to insults that disrupt neurovascular growth, leading to retinopathy of prematurity. Suppression of growth factors due to hyperoxia and loss of the maternal-fetal interaction result in an arrest of retinal vascularisation (phase 1).

Retinopathy of Prematurity [PDF]
Retinopathy of prematurity is a common disorder among extremely low-birthweight preterm infants and may cause total vision loss in as many as 2% to 4% of those weighing less than 2 pounds at birth. Regular examinations begun in the neonatal intensive care unit permit early detection and treatment of progressive ROP and allow a reduction in visual ...
