Popis: Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a rare hereditary vitreoretinopathy resulting from mutations in the wnt signaling pathway leading to abnormalities in fetal retinal vasculogenesis, angiogenesis, and retinal vascular maintenance. Severe FEVR may result in congenital retinal detachment resembling Norrie disease. The authors report the first case of planned preterm delivery and treatment of a patient with severe FEVR from biallelic LRP5 mutations whose siblings had congenital tractional retinal detachments with light perception vision outcomes after conventional care. Early intervention allowed laser ablation of avascular retina and functional visual outcome despite a successfully repaired unilateral tractional retinal detachment.
