[Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous associated with retinal folds].

Abstract

The paper presents the case of a 18 years old male suffering from persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) associated with congenital retinal folds. The clinical features and the pathogenic correlations of the two affections are discussed. Comparing to the PHPV, consequence of a embryogenesis flow appeared in the development of the primary hyaloid-vitreous complex, the congenital retinal folds are considered to be the expression of secondary changes, generated by the background of a varied vitreo-retinal pathology.
