Abstract: Exudative retinal detachment as the initial presentation of retinopathy of prematurity is extremely rare. We present 2 such cases with extensive subretinal exudation, ischemia and exudative retinal detachment. Both were managed successfully with a combination of intravitreal anti- vascular endothelial growth factor injection and laser photocoagulation.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus.
