Retinopathy of prematurity
Initially termed retrolental fibroplasia
vasoproliferative disorder of the eye affecting premature neonates -
Characterized by local ischemia and subsequent development of retinal neovascularization
• A disease of pre-term infants where the immature retina undergoes changes related to / caused by ischemia and insufficient retinal vascularization leading to a wide spectrum of abnormalities ranging from mild peripheral retinal ischemia, vessel tortuosity, to severe exudative and tractional retinal detachments
ROP
Pathophy of ROP
Biglang napanganak si baby na premature pa ang retina, magugulat yun and retinal vessels will constrict, so ischemia will occur. Then, VEGF will release from the ischemic retina. Then magkakaroon ng new vessels.
DEFINITE AND WELL ACCEPTED RISK FACTORS ROP (3)
. • Low gestational age
The younger the patient, the more prone. Yung pinanganak
ng 32 weeks and lower at risk yan. • Low birth weight
1,500 grams and lower at risk yun
• Supplemental oxygen delivery
Yung mga pinanganak, di maka.hinga, binigyan ng oxygen at
di maxado na.titrate
Maternal and perinatal risk factor
For ROP
MATERNAL • Infection during pregnancy • Placenta previa • Poor nutrition • Pre-Eclampsia/eclampsia • Premature rupture of membrane • Multigestation PERINATAL • Anemia • Apnea • Jaundice • Seizures • Sepsos • Blood transfusion
can lead to arrest of vascular development, leaving an area of avascular retina
• No longer considered the sole factor in the development of

ROP
• Important contributing factor
Excessive oxygen concentration
Vasculature reaches nasal ora serrata at what week? Temporal ora n?
32-36 week
Shortly after birth
last to be vascularized ( 39-42 weeks)
• Susceptible to ROP longest
Temporal retina
% of high risk babies never develop any stage of
ROP
85
% of high risk babies develop some form of ROP
15
% ( only 1% of all high risk babies) of those who
have ROP progress to visually debilitating stages (stages4B& 5 )
5-6
In the Philippines % of premature infants develop ROP
14-15 %
yung pinaka.dangerous sa lahat. Na Rop
APROP Aggressive Posterior ROP (APROP)
What zone is bounded by an imaginary circle, the radius of which is twice the distance from the disc to the centre of the macula. With a 28 dioptre binocular indirect lens, only zone I is seen if any part of the optic nerve head is visible.
Zone one
What zone extends concentrically from the edge of zone I; itsradius extends from the centre of the disc to the nasal ora serrata.
Zone 2
