Abstract

Exudative retinopathy may be a manifestation of a variety of isolated ocular or systemic diseases in children. We report the case of a teenager with dyskeratosis congenita who developed a unilateral late exudative retinopathy after having previous laser treatment for threshold retinopathy of prematurity as an infant.
