Albrecht Von Graefes Arch Klin Exp Ophthalmol. 1975;195(2):101-11. doi: 10.1007/BF00417113.

Abstract

Infants with retrolental fibroplasia have been followed at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute from August 1969 through December 1974. Changes occurring acute proliferative RLF were documented with fundus photography and fluorescein angiography. These are presented and especially those that have prognostic significance are emphasized.
