Abstract
A preterm infant who underwent bilateral laser photocoagulation for the treatment of stage 3 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is presented because she was incidentally diagnosed with grade 3 lipemia retinalis by dilated fundoscopy at post-laser 2 weeks. Meticulous ophthalmologic examination is imperative in premature newborns for not only ROP screening but also detecting any concomitant ocular abnormalities, which can be sight-threatening or even life-threatening.
Özet
Evre 3 prematüre retinopatisi (PR) tedavisi için lazer fotokoagülasyonu uygulanan bir preterm bebek, lazer sonrası ikinci haftada yapılan dilate fundoskopik bakısında rastlantısal olarak evre 3 lipemia retinalis tanısı alması nedeniyle sunulmaktadır. Yalnızca PR takibi için değil, görmeyi hatta yaşamı tehdit edebilecek, eşlik edebilecek olası oküler anormalliklerin saptanabilmesi için prematüre yenidoğanlarda oftalmolojik muayenelerin özenli olarak yapılması gereklidir.
