Abstract

A male infant born at 23 weeks gestation with a birthweight of 660 grams presented with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) that began progressing at 44 weeks. He subsequently developed Zone III, Stage 3, pre-plus disease in both eyes (OU), as well as scattered exudates in the macula, dragged vessels temporally, and an exudative retinal detachment temporally in the left eye after a period of regressing and stable ROP. After bilateral laser photocoagulation, there was regression of the neovascularization, resolution of the exudative detachment, and eventual stabilization of disease OU by 12 months postmenstrual age.
