Summary

Exudative retinal detachment (ERD) is a rare complication of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) laser treatment. Tailoring laser settings and adjusting postoperative care can lead to near-complete resolution of ERD.

Background:

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of blindness in premature infants.
Laser photocoagulation is a standard treatment for ROP, but can have complications.
Exudative retinal detachment (ERD) is a rare but serious postoperative complication of ROP laser treatment.

Observation:

A case of bilateral ERD occurred in a preterm infant following ROP laser photocoagulation.
The infant received standard laser treatment with adjusted power due to absorption.
Postoperative care included prednisolone acetate drops, which were later intensified.

Findings:

Complete ERD developed one week after laser treatment.
ERD resolved near-completely within eight weeks with modified postoperative management.

Keywords:

exudative retinal detachment laser photocoagulation neurosensory retina retinal pigment epithelium retinopathy of prematurity

The case highlights the importance of individualized laser settings and titration.

Implications:

This case underscores the need for personalized laser parameters in ROP treatment, even with established protocols.
Close monitoring and titration of laser power based on tissue response are crucial.
Effective management of postoperative ERD is achievable with adjustments to standard care.
