    Summary

    Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) can cause cataracts and glaucoma. Early lensectomy is crucial for managing glaucoma, while anterior PHPV removal aids visual rehabilitation.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) is a congenital condition.
    • Untreated PHPV often leads to significant ocular complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of early intervention in PHPV.
    • To discuss surgical approaches for anterior and posterior PHPV.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical outcomes in PHPV cases.
    • Analysis of surgical interventions including lensectomy and cataract removal.

    Main Results:

    • Lensectomy is recommended to decrease glaucoma incidence.
    • Complete removal of anterior PHPV with cataract extraction improves visual outcomes.
    • Posterior PHPV is associated with poor visual prognosis due to posterior pole issues.

    Conclusions:

    • Timely surgical management of PHPV is essential.
    • Surgical strategy should be tailored to the form of PHPV (anterior vs. posterior).
    • Early intervention can prevent severe visual impairment.
