RESUMO
Foram estudadas prospectivamente 71 crianças pré-termo nascidas no Hospital São Paulo durante o ano dei 995. A análise das observações referentes ao peso ao nascer, idade gestacional, oftalmoscopia, e exame de ultrassom de fontanela dos recém-nascidos, revelou uma relação estatisticamente significante entre retinopatia da prematuridade (RP), baixo peso ao nascimento (796,6 g), menor idade gestacional (média de 28,3 semanas) e hemorragia intraventricular (HV), sugerindo um possível mecanismo fisiopatológico vascular comum para RP e HV.

SUMMARY
A total of 71 preterm infants born in 1995 at the São Paulo Hospital were prospectively studied. The analysis of the relation among weight, gestational age, fundus examination and fontanelas ultrasound showed a statistically significant relation between retinopathy of prematurity (RP), low birth weight (796.6 g), small gestational age (28.3 weeks) and intraventricular hemorrhage (HV), suggesting a possible common physiophathological mechanism to RP and HV.
