📋Overview

Retrolental Fibroplasia is a legacy term historically used to describe a condition now known as Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). ROP is a disorder affecting the developing retinal blood vessels in premature infants, potentially leading to retinal scarring and detachment. The condition arises due to abnormal vascular growth in the retina after premature birth, especially in infants exposed to high oxygen levels. Modern terminology and clinical guidelines refer to this condition as Retinopathy of Prematurity.
