- Abstract
The article presents a case report on the identification on ultrasound examination of bilateral cataract and thickened hyaloid artery-lens junction, leading to diagnosis of bilateral persistent hyperblastic primary vitreous (PHPV) in a fetus at 23 weeks' gestation. The case presented is the first to describe fetal PHPV by prenatal sonographic eye examination, in which postmortem fetal eye histological examination confirmed the diagnosis.
