Abstract

Turkey hosts the largest number of Syrian refugees. The birth rate of Syrian newborns in Turkey increases day by day and they also need intensive care and other therapies. Here we report the case of a Syrian infant who had permanent vision loss after a series of events that reflects the cultural and language barriers as well as the social injustice faced by the refugees.

Keywords: Neonatal Intensive Care; Retinopathy of Prematurity; Turkish National Pediatric Society
