Vitreoretinal Surgery in Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy

Familial exudative retinopathy(FEVR) is a hereditary vitreoretinal disorder characterized by anomalous retinal angiogenesis. Incomplete peripheral retinal vascularization and subsequent retinal ischemia are the hallmark features of FEVR, which can cause various types of retinal detachment. The development of retinal detachment is %21-64 of the cases. The aim of this study is to summarize the treatment methods applied to different types of detachments occuring in FEVR.
