Abstract

During last 24 months we have explored 211 premature infants so as to detect some degree of retinopathy of prematurity. We tried to find relationship between the incidence of retinopathy and low bith weight, respiratory distress syndrome, persisting ductus arteriosus, intracranial hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis and needing of blood transfusions. This relationship exists, even though without significance. Cryotherapy was applied to 14 eyes in extense stage 3 and to 8 eyes in persisting stage 2 plus. We obtained the detention and regression of the illness in all cases. The complication we found more frequently was little preretinal hemorrhage in the affected zone, that didn't hinder treatment in any case. We used general anesthesia in every premature.
