【 摘 要 】

The most severe form of rapidly progressing posterior retinopathy of prematurity(ROP)is aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity(AP-ROP). It is a rare disease, usually progresses to stage 5 without through the classic stage 1-3, eventually leading to irreversible loss of vision. The therapeutic approaches mainly include laser photocoagulation, intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)drugs and vitrectomy. In this article, we reviewed the above advances of AP-ROP treatment.
