Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous in an adult: case report with fluorescein angiographic findings.
The clinical features and fluorescein angiographic findings of an 18-year-old man with PHPV are reported. The case is unusual in that the eye survived into adulthood. The lens resorbed spontaneously, thereby permitting study of the retrolental mass by fluorescein angiography. Fluorescein leakage from the  persistent vessels was very slow but present, thus indicating a probable disruption of the endothelial tight junctions of the tunica vasculosa lentis.
