[Problems in surgical management of persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous in children].

PURPOSE: To evaluate the surgical techniques that allows safe, effective removal of lens and retrolenticular fibrotic membranes in eyes with PHPV in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 31 children (18 boys and 13 girls) with PHPV and cataract in one eye were divided into 2 groups, according to treatment modality. High frequency ultrasonography were used to identify anatomic correlates in the eyes--before operation. Limbal cataract extraction combined with vitrectomy and removalof embryonic remnants was carried out in 17 eyes, and a posterior pars plana approach in 14 eyes. RESULTS: In group with anterior approach, the most serious complication was corneal decompensation, in the next group--retinal detachement. CONCLUSIONS: The anterior and the posterior surgical technique to remove cataract and tenacious retrolenticular membranes was effective but associated with high risk of intraoperative and postoperative complications. Although the surgical intervention is necessary to prevent progressive pathologic changes and to obtain the best possible visualresults in some cases.

Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV): role of computed tomography and magnetic resonance.

The diagnosis of PHPV is often made difficult by its extremely broad array of clinical manifestations, its etiologic heterogeneity, and frequently opaque ocular media. The CT and MR findings are discussed in terms of how they can be of use in the differential diagnosis of PHPV. The strengths and weaknesses of each of these diagnostic methods is detailed in regard to patients who present with unilateral leucocoria, microphthalmos, lens opacity, and retinal detachment.
