Abstract
Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) is a congenital developmental disorder manifesting as a fibrovascular remnant of the embryonal hyaloid vascular system within the vitreal space. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) presents as varying degrees of non-vascularized retinal tissue with potentially devastating ocular complications. Both pathologies arise from ocular vascular system abnormalities, and various treatment modalities have been attempted in the past. In this report we describe a unique case of a late manifesting PFV that may be associated with the development of ROP, complicated by a visually significant cataract.

持续性胎儿血管(PFV)是一种先天性发育障碍,表现为胚胎玻璃状血管系统在玻璃体空间内的纤维血管残余。早产儿视网膜病变(ROP)表现为不同程度的无血管化视网膜组织,具有潜在的破坏性眼部并发症。这两种病变都是由眼部血管系统异常引起的,过去曾尝试过各种治疗方法。在本报告中,我们描述了一个独特的病例,晚期表现的PFV可能与ROP的发展有关,并伴有明显的白内障。引用本文:Zahavi A, Hilely A, Weinberger D, Snir M, Kella YR(2015)胎儿血管异常持续性表现
