Abstract
Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV), a developmental cause of l eukocoria, is due to incomplete regression of the fetal blood supply to the eye. We report the MRI features of PHPV of the dorsal type to facilitate d ifferential diagnosis from other causes of leukocoria, namely retinoblastom a, which may have major therapeutic consequences.
