Widespread retinal hemorrhages after retinopathy of prematurity screening with scleral depression

[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...

RETINOPATHY of PREMATURITY Transscleral Retinal Photocoagulation (TSRPC) Retinopathy of Prematurity Transscleral Retinal Photocoagulation (TSRPC)

Retinopathy of Prematurity Transscleral Retinal Photocoagulation (TSRPC) The 810 nm diode laser wavelength makes lens-sparing transscleral coagulation of the retina possible, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transscleral diode laser coagulation for threshold ROP, the authors performed a controlled clinical study. Forty eyes of 20 preterm infants (gestational age 24-29 weeks, mean 26.8...

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...

Pain and stress assessment after retinopathy of prematurity screening examination: Indirect ophthalmoscopy versus digital retinal imaging

BACKGROUND Increasingly, neonatal clinics seek to minimize painful experiences and stress for premature infants. Fundoscopy performed with a binocular indirect ophthalmoscope is the reference examination technique for screening of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and it is associated with pain and stress. Wide-field digital retinal imaging is a recent technique that should be evaluated for min...
