Persistence and hyperplasia of the primary vitreous (PHPV) is a rare condition. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for improving visual outcomes in affected children.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Ophthalmology
  • Congenital Ocular Malformations

Context:

  • Persistence and hyperplasia of the primary vitreous (PHPV) is a rare congenital ocular malformation with an unknown etiology.
  • This condition affects the development of ocular structures, potentially leading to significant visual impairment.
  • Understanding the clinical characteristics and management outcomes is essential for pediatric ophthalmologists.

Purpose:

  • To retrospectively analyze clinical data of children diagnosed with PHPV.
  • To identify key factors influencing diagnosis, treatment, and visual prognosis.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of management strategies for PHPV.

Summary:

  • A retrospective analysis included 56 eyes from 52 children with PHPV, categorized into anterior, posterior, mixed, and previously operated forms.

  • Fifty eyes underwent surgical treatment, with an average follow-up of 32.5 months.
  • At follow-up, 23% of eyes achieved a visual acuity of 20/200 or better, with 9% better than 20/100.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of early diagnosis and tailored management for improving visual outcomes in PHPV.
    • Provides data on visual results following treatment, aiding in patient counseling and treatment planning.
    • Contributes to the understanding of this rare condition, informing future research and clinical practice.
