Retinal dysplasia

What it means

Abnormal growth and differentiation, structure and appearance of the retina present from birth.

This feature is a congenital developmental anomaly of the retina characterized by abnormal growth and differentiation. The retina contains numerous tubular structures and rosettes. Retinal dysplasia (synonym: retinal dysgenesis) is often accompanied by retinal detachment and micropthalmos, but the latter features should be coded separately.
