Bilateral primary hyperplastic persistent vitreous: report of two cases
Abstract: Primary hyperplastic persistent vitreous (PHPV) or persistent fetal vasculature is a rare clinical entity that presents with leucocoria, microphthalmos, and cataract. It is mostly unilateral. Here we present a report of two cases of bilateral PHPV. One of the patients had associated Peters' anomaly. The entity closely mimics retinoblastoma and should be kept as a differential diagnosis of bilateral leucocoria. Examination under anesthesia, ultrasound B-scan, and aqueous lactate dehydrogenase levels helped us reach the diagnosis and differentiate it from the more serious entity retinoblastoma
