Title: Neonatal multimodal imaging in aggressive retinopathy of prematurity with anemia
Description: The fundus examination showed right eye (Figure 1A) and left eye (Figure 1B): Right eye aggressive retinopathy of prematurity with extensive shunting and looping of vessels in zone 1 and zone 2 posterior. There are hemorrhages seen at different retinal layers both superficial and deeper layers. There is a large sub hyaloid hemorrhage inferior to the disc and along the inferior arcade. The vessels show extensive sclerosis. The left eye showed aggressive retinopathy of prematurity with shunting and looping of vessels with multi layered hemorrhages and few areas of vascular sclerosis. The right eye presentation appears to be more severe. The baby underwent both eyes intravitreal anti-VEGF on the same day. As a routine standard of care blood hemoglobin was done which showed 8.8grams/dl suggestive of moderate anemia. The baby underwent blood transfusion. At 1-week post injection both eyes fundus showed reducing plus disease with resolving hemorrhages (Figure 1C and 1D).
