title: [Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous: case report and literature review].
abstract: Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) is a congenital developmental anomaly of the eye caused by the incomplete regression of primary vitreous with the abnormal persistence of hyaloid vasculature. Aim of this work is to report the case of unilateral PHPV in a 4-week-old child presented to our Department with microphtalmia and leukocoria in the right eye. We will describe the main ocular, echographic and magnetic resonance findings that are essential to conduct a right differential diagnosis.
