Resumen
La retinopatía del prematuro sigue siendo la principal causa de ceguera infantil que afecta principalmente a los bebés prematuros y de bajo peso al nacer. La prevención del parto prematuro es la estrategia más efectiva para reducir la incidencia de retinopatía del prematuro. La identificación y el tratamiento oportunos son esenciales para prevenir la pérdida innecesaria de la visión causada por retinopatía del prematuro. Se ha asociado con múltiples factores de riesgo entre los principales el bajo peso al nacer, edad gestacional y utilización de oxígeno suplementario, entre otros. Su cuadro clínico se caracteriza por una membrana retrolental que origina leucocoria y eventualmente sin tratamiento con complicaciones potenciales como glaucoma, catarata, miopía y ceguera, siendo esta última la más grave. El estándar de tratamiento actual sigue siendo la terapia ablativa a través de la fotocoagulación con láser de la retina isquémica avascular periférica y actualmente se están realizando estudios con anti VEGF los cuales han demostrado beneficios significativos, sin embargo aún no han sido aprobado por la FDA para su utilización clínica.
