Macular images of infants with early-onset edema (occurring at or before 33 weeks' postmenstrual age [PMA]) and infants with late-onset edema (at or after 36 weeks' PMA) were compared. At first appearance, early-onset edema has a more severe morphology, with foveal bulging and elongated cystoid spaces than late-onset edema, which presents as small cystoid spaces outside the foveal center. Morphological variations may be an indicator of the underlying cause of edema in preterm infants. The presence of mostly parafoveal small cystoid spaces in the late-onset edema group may be suggestive of an association with neurological injury.
