Abstract

The vitreoretinopathy with familial tendency was first described by V.G.Criswick and C.L. Schepens in 1969. The disease is slowly progressive and can be clinically grouped into 3 stages according to the severity of ocular manifestation. The etiology of this disease which is similar to the other vitreoretinopathy without the history of prematurity and oxygen supply is unknown. Two sibling patients suggesting to have the familial exudative vitreoretinopathy were reported and reviewed herein with their clinical features.
