Ophthalmology, 1980•ElsevierThree cases of retrolental fibroplasia with vascular tufts at different locations are described.
They probably represent mesenchymal proliferation in response to severe hypoxia. The tufts
are reddish-pink in color and angiographically do not leak fluorescein. When present
posterior to the equator they suggest an immature retinal circulation and the visual
prognosis is poor.
