Résumé
Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy [FEVR] is a hereditary ocular disorder with retinal and vitreous abnormality similar to those seen in retinopathy of prematurity. It manifests with a premature arrest of peripheral retinal capillaries. We report an observation of aTunisian family whose 5 members presented clinical signs of FEVR. We report a case of a Tunisian family whose mother and 4 children had fundus ocular abnormalities calling up for FEVR. Clinical manifestations were various with retinal detachment, temporal vasculature traction, macular ectopia and macular edema. FEVR diagnostic was made based on these clinical presentations and after eliminating premature retinopathy. FEVR is one of the causes of retinal detachment in children with retinopathy of prematurity. when FEVR is suspected, families members must be examinated in order to confirm the diagnostic, to detect signs of this disease and to prevent its complications in these cases
