    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Posterior hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) is a congenital eye anomaly.
    • PHPV can lead to significant vision impairment in children.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the fundus findings of posterior hyperplastic primary vitreous.
    • To aid in the differentiation of PHPV from other pediatric eye conditions.
    • To provide a basis for improved diagnostic criteria.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 14 pediatric cases with PHPV.
    • Detailed funduscopic examination and imaging.
    • Comparative review with other ocular pathologies.

    Main Results:

    • Characteristic fundus features of PHPV were identified.
    • Pleomorphic manifestations of PHPV were noted.
    • Key differentiating features from other conditions were highlighted.

    Conclusions:

    • A clear definition of PHPV based on fundus appearance is valuable.
    • Distinguishing PHPV aids in avoiding misdiagnosis of parasitic, inflammatory, or genetic disorders.
    • This description can improve diagnostic accuracy in pediatric eye care.
