Evolutive posterior forms of persistent fetal vasculature bilateral at Gao regional hospital

Abstract

The persistence of fetal vasculature (PFV) is an abnormal resorption in hyaloid vascular system. We report the case of a 2-year old child with evolutionary posterior form of bilateral vasculature presenting with leukocoria in the right eye. Clinical examination showed bilateral leukocoria, exotropia in the right eye and an exotropia in the left eye. Fundus examination of the right eye showed fibrovascular retinal band stretched to the ora serrata associated with total retinal detachment and peripheral pigment changes. Fundus examination of the left eye showed fibrovascular retinal band stretched from the papilla to the ora serrata, associated with partial inferior, anterior temporal detachment and peripheral pigment changes.
