Prior to the development of ROP in the premature infant, vascularization of the retina is incomplete or "immature". In Stage 2: Intraretinal Ridge, the ridge arises from the demarcation line and has height and width, which extends above the plane of the retina. The ridge may change from white to pink and vessels may leave the plane of the retina posterior to the ridge to enter it. (NICHD)
