Foveal avascular zone and foveal pit formation after preterm birth
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 05/15/2012
Yanni SE et al. – Preterm birth results in abnormal foveal vascularisation, a failure of the inner retinal neurons to migrate away from the fovea, and an elevated outer nuclear layer ratio. The spatial coincidence of inner retinal and vascular abnormalities in preterm children supports the hypothesis that aspects of foveal development are interdependent.
