A 08 year-old female child with her left cloudy eye [leukocoria] from her first year of life.
Ultrasound detected left microphthalmos, left cataract and persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous [PHPV].
MSCT noted left ocular fluid in high density, while the left optic nerve and the left orbit were intact.
PHPV is synonymous with Persistent Fetal Vasculature that is the preferred term prior to Morton F. Goldberg’s 1997. PHPV is unilateral, associated with cataract. PHPV causes cloudy lense, retinal detachment, microphthalmos and strabismus.
