Purpose: A 9 year-old child demonstrated symptomatic exudative vitreoretinopathy. The other family members were examined to detect funduscopic changes suggestive of the disease.
Methods: A complete ocular examination was performed including fundus biomicroscopic examination and fluorescein angiography.
Results: The patient with exudative vitreoretinopathy exhibited retinal neovascularisation and minime vitreous hemorrhage in one eye. He was successfully treated with laser photocoagulation. The mother and her 5 other children had isolated retinal vascular tortuosity.
Conclusion: The association in the same pedigree of exudative vitreoretinopathy and retinal vascular tortuosity suggest the same nosologic frame to these autosomal dominant diseases. They could represent different expressions of the same genetic disorder.

Hereditary vitreoretinopathies (HVRs), also known as hereditary vitreoretinal degenerations comprise a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders of the retina and vitreous, collectively and variably characterised by vitreal abnormalities, such as fibrillary condensations, liquefaction or membranes, as well as peripheral retinal abnormalities, vascular changes in some, an increased risk of retinal detachment and early-onset cataract formation. The pathology often involves the vitreoretinal interface in some, while the major underlying abnormality is vascular in others. Recent advances in molecular diagnosis and identification of the responsible genes and have improved our understanding of the pathogenesis, risks and management of the HVRs.

Purpose: To investigate whether wide-angle fluorescein angiography (FA) was useful for detecting familial exudative retinopathy (FEVR) in patients with neurodevelopmental disorder with spastic diplegia and visual defects (NEDSDV).
Methods: This was a retrospective chart review from 2013 to 2023 of all consecutive patients with NEDSDV and pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants.
Results: Seven patients (four females, three males) were seen in the ophthalmology clinic (median age: 14 months).
