Quantitative evaluation of the wide-field fundus photographs in eyes with severe stage 3 and stage 4A retinopathy of prematurity
Fibrous membranes and tractional bands can be detected in severe stage 3 ROP, but the width and the total area of the fibrous membranes and total retinoschisis-detachment area were found to be higher in stage 4A eyes. The dragging of the posterior pole can be an important diagnostic indicator for the diagnosis of stage 4A. Therefore this finding may be a simple auxiliary finding for diagnosis and prognosis of stage 4A ROP.
