    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) in adults is rare and can mimic eye injuries. A two-instrument pars plana vitrectomy successfully cleared the pupillary axis in a 29-year-old patient.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Congenital Eye Abnormalities

    Background:

    • Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) is a rare congenital eye malformation.
    • PHPV typically presents in infancy, making adult cases unusual.
    • Distinguishing adult PHPV from ocular trauma can be diagnostically challenging.

    Observation:

    • A 29-year-old patient presented with dense PHPV.
    • The condition affected the pupillary axis, obscuring vision.
    • A two-instrument technique was employed for surgical intervention.

    Findings:

    • Pars plana vitrectomy successfully cleared the pupillary axis.
    • The surgical technique effectively addressed the dense PHPV.
    • Visual function was improved post-operatively.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the possibility of PHPV in adult patients.
    • It underscores the importance of considering PHPV in adult vision loss, even when it mimics trauma.
    • The successful use of a two-instrument vitrectomy technique offers a viable surgical option for adult PHPV.
