“…When comparing the methods of single spots and near confluent photocoagulation, the method of dense laser photocoagulation seems to be more effective and safer [23][24][25] . The complications of the CALCR procedure do not vary in principle from the complications that are described in standard methods of treatment with laser and cryocoagulation under the visual control of an indirect ophthalmoscope [12][13][14][15][16]19,20,22 . In particular, we encountered a various extent of retinal and vitreous haemorrhages in all infants in our study group.…”

“…There are different views on the direct treatment of the ridge between the vascular and avascular parts of the retina 8,12,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] . Near confluent laser photocoagulation, which was used in the CALCR procedure, seems to be more effective than the usage of individual laser spots.…”

“…ETROP study guidelines are employed in our institute for treatment of patients with ROP: any stage of ROP with plus disease in zone I or stage 3 without plus disease in zone I, and stage 2 or 3 ROP with plus disease in zone II [1,23]. Retinal laser photocoagulation was performed according to the previously described method using diode laser with an 810-nm wavelength instrument (IRIS Medical Instruments Inc., Mountain View, CA, USA) [24]. Severe ROP was defined as the presence of vitreous and/or retinal hemorrhage preventing adequate photocoagulation of retina or development of vitreous or retinal hemorrhage after laser ablation.…”

“…14,15 Presence of BP makes it more difficult when treating the lower quadrants. 16 BP and unwanted ocular movements may increase the risk of accidental ablation of the posterior retina. Prolonged depression of the globe during laser treatment of lower quadrants may also rarely cause anterior segment ischemia.…”

A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : To evaluate the expression of Bell's phenomenon (BP) in premature infants and to discuss the effects of BP expression on retinopathy of prematurity screening examination. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : Consecutive infants admitted for retinopathy of prematurity screening examination were all recruited. The expression of BP was evaluated just after the insertion of the blepharostat and during illumination of the eye by the binocular indirect ophthalmoscopic light beam. BP was recorded as grade 0 when there is no expression, grade 1 when partial response is present (the center of pupil visible) and grade 2 when full response is present (the center of pupil is not visible). R Re es su ul lt ts s: : A total of 152 infants with a mean gestational age of 31.4±2.8 weeks and a mean birth weight of 1705.0±543.3 g. were enrolled in the study. Fourty-two (30.3%) grade 0, 70 (46.0%) grade 1 and 36 (23.7%) grade 2 responses were observed just after the insertion of the blepharostat. After illumination of the eye with the indirect ophthalmoscope, 31 (20.4%) grade 0, 60 (39.5%) grade 1 and 61 (40.1%) grade 2 responses were observed. No significant association was found between the gestational age and the frequency of BP just after insertion of the blepharostat. (p=0.856) However, there was a statistically significant difference of the expression frequency of BP between different age groups during illumination with the light of binocular indirect ophthalmoscope (p=0.008). C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : BP is commonly encountered in premature infants during retinopathy of prematurity screening examination. It should be taken into consideration during screening examination and laser treatment under topical anesthesia in order to prevent conjunctival injury and anterior segment ischemia.K Ke ey y W Wo or rd ds s: : Infant, premature; retinopathy of prematurity Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Prematüre bebeklerde Bell fenomeni (BF) görülme sıklığını ve bu durumun prematüre retinopatisi tarama muayenesi sırasında neden olabileceği sonuçları tartışmak amaçlanmıştır. G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Prematüre retinopatisi tarama muayenesi için başvuran bebeklerde blefarosta takılmasını ve indirekt oftalmoskop ışığının göze tutulmasını takiben BF varlığı değerlendirildi. Yanıt alınamayan olgular evre 0, kısmi yanıt alınan olgular (pupil merkezi görülen) evre 1 ve tam yanıt alınan olgular (pupil merkezi görülemeyen) ise evre 2 olarak kaydedildi. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: : Ortalama gestasyonel yaşı 31,4±2,8 hafta ve doğum ağırlığı 1705,0±543,3 g olan 152 bebek çalışma kapsamına alındı. Blefarosta takılmasını takiben 42 (%30,3) bebekte evre 0, 70 (%46,0) bebekte evre 1 ve 36 (%23,7) bebekte evre 2 yanıt izlendi.
