A premature infant who was developing cicatricial retrolental fibroplasia, was given cryotherapy to both eyes. This stopped the progress of the disease in almost all areas of the retina. The infant died three months later of complications related to prematurity. A comparison between the inadequately treated areas and those adequately treated during the clinical follow-up prior to death and in the pathology of the eyes confirms the value of cryotherapy in preventing cicatricial retrolental fibroplasia and indicates where it should be applied.
一名患有瘢痕性晶状体后纤维增生症的早产儿双眼接受了冷冻疗法。这几乎阻止了视网膜所有区域疾病的进展。该婴儿三个月后死于与早产相关的并发症。在死亡前的临床随访期间以及眼部病理学检查中，对治疗不充分的区域和治疗充分的区域进行比较，证实了冷冻疗法在预防瘢痕性晶状体后纤维增生症方面的价值，并指出了其应用部位。
