Multiple Vascular Stalks in a Patient With Persistent Fetal Vasculature. Ophthalmic surgery, lasers & imaging retina Shah, S. M., Moshfeghi, D. M. 2019; 50 (5): 330-331

Abstract

Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) is a well-defined phenomenon that is characterized by the presence of fetal hyaloid vessels within the eye after birth. Although there have been numerous studies describing the occurrence, surgical management, and possible pathogenesis of PFV, few studies have discussed the possibility of a patient having more than one vascular stalk. The authors describe a 5-year-old female with PFV having two well-delineated stalks. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2019;50:330-331.].
