Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is a dimeric glycoprotein, naturally expressed in epithelial and tumor cells (1). Normal Retinal vascularization has two phases: In the first fase, cells of mesenquimatous origin form the first superficial plexus (14-21 weeks of gestation). In the second phase, denominated "angiogenesis phase", the superficial and deep capillary plexus are formed (15,20). The Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) was described for the first time in 1942 (4), at the present moment it is a public health problem in the developing countries. The International Classification of ROP classifies it in 5 stages, dividing it in 3 anatomical zones. It is a public health problem that continuous without having an effective prophylaxis. The early diagnosis and treatment in thresholds stages have changed the prognosis of this disease (11,12).
