Abstract

Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) is a congenital anomaly of the eye occurring from failure of the embryological, primary vitreous, and hyaloid vasculature to regress. The previous term persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) [1] has been replaced by PFV, coined by Goldberg [2]. Presentation in most cases is unilateral and varies from primarily anterior, posterior, or mixed variety.
