Growth defects

A child with Optic nerve hypoplasia should be monitored carefully for what?

Optic nerve hypoplasia

A congenital condition characterized by failure of the optic nerve to completely develop, and possibly resulting in optic nerve atrophy over time.

Retinopathy of prematurity

A retinal vascular disorder that affects severely premature babies. Results from incomplete peripheral vascularization at birth followed by abnormal vascularization in the subsequent weeks to months. In premature infants retinal vascularisation is not complete at birth, increased oxygen levels after birth reduces production of VEGF and vessel migration stops. • This leads to a hypoxic retina which stimulates excessive VEGF production leading to ROP
