A prematurely born male infant (24+5 gestational weeks, birth weight 485 g) was diagnosed with bilateral aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP) in zone I. After obtaining informed written consent from the parents, one eye was treated with diode laser photocoagulation and the other eye with 0.25 mg intravitreal ranibizumab. Laser photocoagulation was found to be an effective tool for fast regression of AP-ROP; however, medium-term evaluation showed poor macular formation and peripheral retinal detachment. The intravitreal injection led to a slower but better control of the AP-ROP and central foveal reflexes showed better anatomical outcome.
