Unilateral persistent fetal vasculature coexisting with anterior segment dysgenesia
Copyright policy )Unilateral persistent fetal vasculature coexisting with anterior segment dysgenesia
A case is presented of a 4 week-old female neonate with Peters anomaly (PA) and unilateral persistent foetal vasculature (PFV) referred to our centre due to esotropia. At 12 weeks of age, a penetrating keratoplasty and vitrectomy were performed without major complications in the immediate post-operative period. The patient is currently under an intensive treatment for amblyopia and secondary glaucoma.Surgical treatment of PFV is controversial, with prevention of amblyopia, phthisis, and glaucoma being the main reasons for it. Patients with unilateral PFV and type II PA could be good candidates for this combined surgical procedure.
