[Chosen etiopathogenetic factors in formation and development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)].
Retinopathy of prematurity remains a serious problem in newborns. Sometimes despite of better ophthalmologic control and knowledge of pathomechanism of ROP, there is no possibility to avoid blindness. Today attention is concentrated on searching in pathophysiology, immunology and other branches of medical sciences to explain the nature of disease. The aim of this article is to analyze some factors which play an important role in development of ROP.
