- Description
- Baby born at 26 weeks gestation. The right eye reveals a large arteriole venous shunt in the peripheral retina. The venules leading away from the shunt appear to be larger than normal. Superimposed on the venules and arterioles are a number of small, round, reddish-pink 'bulbs' that are preretinal. Another interesting finding is the presence of a 'bulb' located on the disc. Angiography demonstrates that the lesions fluoresces vividly along with three other lesions, located 1 to 2 disc diameters from the disc. There was a vitreous hemorrhage in the left eye.
