Popis: Retinal arterio-venous shunts are present in ROP stage 3 +. Chorioidal changes are not detectable by ophthalmoscopy. To study hemodynamic changes occuring with ROP and cryotherapy (CTx), we made prospective Doppler studies of the mean BFV (area under the curve) in the superior ophthalmic vein (SOV) and the ophthalmic artery (OA) in 7 VVLBWI, GA 27 (25-29) wks, birthweight 760 (480-990)g (A). 9 infants with symmetric ROP 3+ (3 of group A), GA 27 (25-29) wks, were studied before (B) and after CTx (C). Controls without ROP: GA 29 (25-33) wks (D). Criteria for diagnosis of ROP and CTx were according to the CTx-ROP study (Pediatrics 81:697-706,1988). (* = p
