PHPV in an adult managed by vitrectomy.

Abstract
Pars plana vitrectomy requiring a two-instrument technique successfully cleared the pupillary axis of dense persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous in a 29-year-old patient. To find PHPV in an adult eye with vision is so unusual that distinguishing it from the ocular sequelae of traumatic injury can be challenging. Hyperplastic primary vitreous persists with a wide variety of clinical features in both anterior and posterior segments of the eye.
