Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous was first described by Reese in 1955 in his Jackson Memorial lecture.[5] In the embryo‚ the primary vitreous is formed during the first month of development and is supplied by the hyaloid blood system. Hyaloid artery generally begins to regress during the formation of the avascular secondary vitreous at around 9 weeks. Incomplete regression of the embryonic vitreous and the hyaloid vasculature leads to this entity.[4] PHPV is usually found in otherwise healthy
