Abstract
The vascular development of the normal human neuroretina is a process which occurs surprisingly late in the course of foetal life, and is not quite complete even at birth. Vascularization of the peripheral retina, particularly in the temporal half of the fundus, does not take place until the final months of the intra-uterine period. This implies that vascular developmental disorders in this part of the retina have a late foetal pathogenesis.
