Abstract

The authors present a preterm neonatal infant with type 1 retinopathy of prematurity, who was treated with diode laser panretinal photocoagulation. The patient developed a serous retinal detachment in the left eye which resolved spontaneously. Long-term follow-up of the patient revealed development of a macular chorioretinal scar in the affected eye.
