Aggressive posterior ROP （AP-ROP） is a rapidly progressing and severe presentation of ROP. It is characterized as posterior location （zone 1 or posterior zone I1）, Stage 3, and with plus disease （arterial tortuosity and venous dilation）. It can quickly lead to retinal detachment and blindness if not treated in time.展开更多
