UNASSIGNED: A male infant was born with a birth weight of 382 g at 23 weeks\' gestation. As visualization was poor and laser therapy could not be performed due to dilated tunica vasculosa lentis and poor mydriasis, IVB (0.625 mg/0.025 mL) was administered to both eyes. Following treatment, the ROP gradually improved, with regression of the dilated tunica vasculosa lentis and improvement of the mydriasis in both eyes.
UNASSIGNED: A male infant was born with a birth weight of 698 g at 25 weeks\' gestation. As laser therapy could not be performed due to severely dilated tunica vasculosa lentis and poor mydriasis, IVB (0.625 mg/0.025 mL) was administered to both eyes. Following treatment, the ROP gradually improved, with regression of the dilated tunica vasculosa lentis and improvement of the mydriasis in both eyes.
CONCLUSIONS: IVB is potentially more useful than laser therapy for the treatment of severe ROP with dilated tunica vasculosa lentis and poor mydriasis.
