Retinal haemorrhages in a preterm infant following screening examination for retinopathy of prematurity.

been postulated. 4 Bisphosphonates have been associated with many ocular adverse effects, the majority being inflammatory; anterior and posterior uveitis, episcleritis, scleritis, and optic neuritis. Blurred vision is well documented and listed by the World Health Organization as a ‘‘certain’’ ocular adverse effect of bisphosphonates although, the cause of this has not been identified. Drug ind...

To cite: Bello Z. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014206826 DESCRIPTION A female baby was born at 24 weeks gestation, weighing less than 600 g. Owing to the extremely low birth weight and gestation age, she was at risk of developing sight threatening retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) 2 and therefore eligible for screening, which subsequently demons...

Screening for retinopathy of prematurity.

The demise of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) was confidently forecast in the 1950s when supplemental oxygen was identified as a causal factor. Unfortunately this did not transpire and by the mid-1960s it became all too apparent that ROP was not solely of historical interest. The purpose of this article is to consider screening for ROP working on the basis that at present this condition is not...

[Reliability of retinal imaging screening in retinopathy of prematurity].

INTRODUCTION The retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a potentially avoidable cause of blindness in children. The advances in neonatal care make the survival of extremely premature infants, who show a greater incidence of the disease, possible. The aim of the study is to evaluate the reliability of ROP screening using retinography imaging with the RetCam 3 wide-angle camera and also study the va...
