Abstract
We report a case of vitreous haemorrhage from a persistent hyaloid art ery that occured to a 50 year-old patient. The case report is followed by a review of the embryologic development and a physiopathologic dis cussion about the origin of vitreous haemorrhage. The authors emphasiz e the distinction between persistent hyaloid artery and persistent hyp erplastic primary vitreous.
