title: [Vitreous hemorrhage as the initial manifestation of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy in an eight-year-old child].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report vitreous hemorrhage as the initial manifestation of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR).
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  An 8-year-old child presented with vitreous hemorrhage leading to the discovery of large neovascularization. Fundus examination and fluorescein angiography showed the typical appearance of FEVR. A genetic study confirmed the diagnosis. Treatment by laser photocoagulation was performed with good recovery of visual acuity.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Ophthalmologists should be aware of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) so as not to misdiagnose this sight-threatening disease.
