Popis: Purpose: DiGeorge (22q11.2 deletion) syndrome is the most common human deletion syndrome with wide range of ocular manifestations. Herein we describe a case with novel retinal observations in this conditions. Observations: Retinal vascular dysplasia, peripapillary, intraretinal and vitreous hemorrhage were observed in a premature child with DiGeorge syndrome. Vitreous hemorrhage was treated with intravitreal injection of anti-angiogenicagents and pars plana vitrectomy surgery. Fundus fluorescein angiography did not confirm leakage of dye from dysplastic retinal vessels. Conclusions and Importance: Patients with DiGeorge syndrome may develop retinal vascular dysplasia, peripapillary, intraretinal and vitreous hemorrhage.
