A premature, 6-year-old child lost his owing to the persistence of the foetal vascular system and to retina detachment with divergent strabismus, at the left eye. The absence of ocular inflammatory signs, of intravascular hypertension, as well as the echographic examination permit to establish the diagnosis. The role of prematurity in the persistence of the foetal vascular system is shown, as this congenital malformation has neither a genetic, nor a foetal inflammatory determination.
