Abstract

Retrolental fibroplasia (RLF) has most often been observed in preterm infants exposed to high ambient oxygen concentrations. This case report describes an infant near term who was never exposed to supplemental oxygen but in whom stage 4 RLF developed. The etiologic role of exchange transfusion is discussed.
