POSTERIOR FORM OF PERSISTENT HYPERPLASTIC PRIMARY VITREOUS

The authors report a case of posterior hyperplastic primary vitreous w hich was associated by chance with a central serous choroidoretinopath y. Examination of the left eye revealed a dense white vitreous condens ation attached to the optic disc associated with retinal folds. Fluore scein Angiography showed a typical central serous choroidoretinopathy. No treatment was required as retinal complications due to the posteri or hyperplastic primary vitreous were not found; central serous choroi doretinopathy had a satisfactory course. Posterior hyperplastic primar y vitreous is a rare disease, different from Reese's anterior form and may mimic congenital abnormalities of the optic disc. Clinical appear ance, clinical course and treatment are discussed.
