[Prematurity and retinal detachment (author's transl)].
Cases of retinal detachment due to retinopathy of prematurity are presented. 1. There are cases of total retinal detachment without a complete retrolental fibroplasia. 2. Very typical are cases with a dragged disc and mascular ectopy due to preretinal strands in the temporal periphery, the symptoms of an earlier retinopathy of prematurity. By traction these temporal alterations can cause a retinal detachment, the distortion of the retinal vessels can heavily increase after surgical reattachment of the retina. 3. There are cases of juvenile myopes without further signs of a retinopathy of prematurity. A retinal detachment may occur, due to round holes.
