Unilateral persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous: Course and outcome

Opacification of the visual axis after cataract surgery and single acrylic intraocular lens implantation in the first year of life

“…Plager et al 23 reported that 4 (12.1%) of 33 aphakic eyes required a secondary procedure for VAO compared with 12 (80.0%) of 15 eyes in their pseudophakic group. Anteby et al, 32 when reviewing their persistent fetal vasculature study population, reported 8 (25.8%) of 31 aphakic eyes (patient age at surgery was 1 month to 6 years) requiring secondary surgery for VAO compared with 9 (31.0%) of 30 pseudophakic eyes (patient age at surgery was 2 weeks to 9 years) requiring VAO secondary surgery.…”

“…The incidence may be increased in patients with PHPV (Fig. 4), where traction on the retina may be exacerbated by surgical disturbance of an abnormally thick anterior vitreous face [3].…”
