Article Synopsis
  • Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a rare genetic condition affecting retinal blood vessel development, often mistaken for retinoblastoma in infants with severe symptoms.
  • A case involved a 2-month-old girl with eye abnormalities and MRI findings that helped confirm FEVR after the left eye was removed for further investigation.
  • Genetic testing revealed a new variant linked to FEVR, emphasizing the need to differentiate it from retinoblastoma due to overlapping symptoms in young children.
