Persistence of the primary vitreous in association with the morning glory disc anomaly

J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 1984 Jan-Feb;21(1):5-7. doi: 10.3928/0191-3913-19840101-03.

Abstract

Two patients with the morning glory disc anomaly are reported. In one, fibrovascular stalk passed forward into the vitreous cavity, while in the second a persistent hyaloid artery extended anteriorly from a tuft of fibrous tissue to the posterior lens capsule. These cases suggest that in some eyes the morning glory disc anomaly occurs as a variant of persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV).
