Svedbergh, B. (Department of Ophthalmology, University of Uppsala, Uppsala, Sweden). Retrolental fibroplasia or congenital encephalo‐ophthalmic dysplasia? Acta Paediatr Scand, 64: 891, 1975.–Congenital encephalo‐ophthalmic dysplasia (CEOD) is described in 2 cases. The eye signs, clinically identical to the cicatricial stage of retrolental fibroplasia (RLF), are combined with brain maldevelopment and occurred without oxygen treatment. RLF in a strict sense should be reserved for oxygen‐induced retinopathy in prematures.
