In the period of 1983-1988 among 57 retinal detachments in children and youth in 8 cases (10 eyes) the authors found the retinopathy of prematurity as a cause of retinal detachment. The characteristic picture of changes in these eyes was discussed. Combined surgical procedures were performed in 7 cases achieving a cure in 6. Emphasized was the significance of periodical examinations of these eyes with the aim of eventual prophylaxis of retinal detachment and of therapy of amblyopia.
