CASANUEVA CABEZA, Haymy Caridad et al. Retinopathy of prematurity with atypical presentation. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2022, vol.35, n.1  Epub Aug 29, 2022. ISSN 1561-3070.

Retinopathy of prematurity is a dynamic vasoproliferative disease of the immature postnatal retina that affects premature babies. When signs of atypicality appear in its diagnosis or evolution, other vascular entities of the retina must be ruled out, which generally have a genetic background and resemble or coexist with said entity. We present a case with characteristics of Retinopathy of prematurity and some signs of atypicality. Its management and evolution are described, as well as a brief description of the entities that make up the differential diagnosis.
