Abstract
Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV), previously known as persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV), is a congenital anomaly that occurs when vessels present during fetal development fail to regress. In this chapter, we discuss the clinical features, optical coherence tomography (OCT) features, ancillary testing, and treatment of children with persistent fetal vasculature.
