Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) may lead to late-developing complications due to the abnormal vitreoretinal interface. In this case report, three adult patients (ages 39 years, 62 years, and 64 years) with a history of prematurity underwent imaging with ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography (UWFFA). The UWFFA demonstrated late peripheral vascular hyperfluorescence in all three patients, perivascular leakage in two of the patients, hyperfluorescent foveal avascular zone in two of the patients, peripheral avascular retina in two of the patients, vasoproliferative tumor in one of the patients, peripheral neovascularization in one of the patients, and vascular anastomosis in one of the patients. Descriptive analysis of the images is reported. The authors concluded UWFFA reveals details in adults with history of ROP that may gain importance during the follow-up or in the surgical management of these patients; however, prospective studies are needed.

早产儿视网膜病变(ROP)可能由于玻璃体视网膜界面异常而导致后期出现并发症。在本病例报告中,三名有早产史的成年患者(年龄分别为39岁、62岁和64岁)接受了超广角荧光素血管造影(UWFFA)检查。UWFFA显示,所有三名患者均出现晚期周边血管高荧光,两名患者出现血管周围渗漏,两名患者出现高荧光性黄斑无血管区,两名患者出现周边无血管视网膜,一名患者出现血管增生性肿瘤,一名患者出现周边新生血管,一名患者出现血管吻合。报告了对图像的描述性分析。作者得出结论,UWFFA可揭示有ROP病史的成年人的详细情况,这些情况在这些患者的随访或手术治疗中可能具有重要意义;然而,仍需要进行前瞻性研究。[《眼科手术、激光与视网膜成像》。2018年;49:278 - 283。]
