Aggressive posterior ROP
Definition
Aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP) is a severe and rare form of ROP which is characterized by fast progression to an advanced stage with flat neovascularization in zone 1 or zone 2. Previously, AP-ROP was referred to as type II ROP or rush-type ROP. In the 2005 revised report of the International Committee for the Classification of Retinopathy of Prematurity, type II ROP or rush-type ROP were termed AP-ROP. This type of eye disease has the following characteristics: (1) more posterior location; (2) rapid progression, rather than through the classic stages 1–5; and (3) poor prognosis despite early treatment.
