Surgical Excision of Persistent Hyperplastic Primary Vitreous

Three Cases of the Morning Glory Syndrome

“…This congenital malformation is unilateral, but other anomalies are often seen in the contralateral eye, e. g. microphthalmos, anterior chamber cleavage syndrome, coloboma of the posterior pole and retinal detachment. An optic disc of similar appearance was described by Gass (1970) in a patient showing persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous. The retinal detachment occurring in the Morning Glory syndrome is not associated with retinal tears (Kindler 1970, Hamada & Ellsworth 1971.…”

Microsurgery of Persistent Hyperplastic Primary Vitreous

“…Successful surgical excisions of PHPV by the open-sky technique have been re ported [4][5][6][7], However, the use of a vitreous cutter has several advantages. Through a small incision via the limbus or pars plana, the risk of bleeding or excessive traction on the ciliary body during surgery decreases, and theoretically, by removing the anterior vitreous a future scaffold for repeated prolif erations can be eliminated [11].…”

Morning glory disc anomaly with pulsating peripapillary staphyloma

“…Kindler believed that it might be related to abnormal development of the tissue remnants of Bergmeister's papilla. A morning glory disc anomaly in combination with persistent hyperplastic vitreous (PHPV) has been reported (Gass 1970). It has been placed within a spectrum of disc anomalies ranging from the Fig.…”
