Visual and anatomical outcomes with vitrectomy in posterior or combined persistent fetal vasculature in an Asian population
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Jun 30, 2019
Yeh CT, et al. - In an Asian pediatric population, researchers studied clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of vitrectomy in posterior or combined persistent fetal vasculature (PFV). Between 2006 and 2015, eyes that underwent pars plicata vitrectomy and/or lensectomy for posterior or combined PFV were involved. A total of 25 eyes of 18 patients younger than 8 years of age were involved in this retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series. In patients with posterior or combined PFV with macular involvement, vitrectomy and/or lensectomy may result in an acceptable anatomical outcome. However, despite surgical intervention in these patients, the functional result stayed poor. There was no phthisis or glaucoma in any of the patients.
