  • Title: [Vitreous hemorrhage as the initial manifestation of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy in an eight-year-old child].
    Author: Benoist D'azy C, Bonnin N, Maurin C, Farguette F, Chiambaretta F.
    Journal: J Fr Ophtalmol; 2016 Jun; 39(6):549-53. PubMed ID: 27230891.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report vitreous hemorrhage as the initial manifestation of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR). METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: An 8-year-old child presented with vitreous hemorrhage leading to the discovery of large neovascularization. Fundus examination and fluorescein angiography showed the typical appearance of FEVR. A genetic study confirmed the diagnosis. Treatment by laser photocoagulation was performed with good recovery of visual acuity. CONCLUSION: Ophthalmologists should be aware of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) so as not to misdiagnose this sight-threatening disease.
