Abstract
Retinopathy of prematurity is a neovascular disease of premature infants and the natural history of this disease has been extensively described. Long term sequelae and complications has been less investigated. Retinal detachment is vision threating in these patients; tractional and exudative retinal detachments are usually presented earlier in age; rhegmatogenous detachments tent to occur more commonly later in life secondary to abnormal vitreoretinal interface changes. Different surgical approaches can be used to treat this complication. Either vitrectomy, scleral buckle or combination of both techniques are recommended depending on the case.
