Persistant hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) was described in detail as a clinical entity by Reese1 in 1955 in his Jackson Memorial Lecture. Goldberg in his 1997 Jackson Memorial Lecture2 renamed PHPV as persistent fetal vasculature (PFV). PHPV is a pathologic entity resulting from abnormal persistence of the fetal fibrovascular primitive stroma (hyaloid system) of the eye3,4 which should di...

The distribution of the conduction-band tail states in a Zn03Cd07Se II-VI semiconductor alloy has been determined experimentally using persistent photoconductivity (PPC) transient measurements, and is confirmed to be exponential. Our results show that the transport properties in II-VI semiconductor alloys are strongly influenced by tail states caused by alloy disorder. A class of transport prop...

The imaging features of persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) affecting the posterior eye are well known. We recently encountered a patient with the anterior variant of PHPV who had MR imaging of the orbits. We present the clinical and imaging findings of this unusual entity and discuss the therapeutic options available for its management.

Background: Oculo-palato-cerebral syndrome is an extremely rare condition characterized by various features, including low-birth weight, microcephaly, cerebral atrophy, mild-to-severe developmental delay, cleft palate, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, microphthalmia, small hands and feet, joint laxity, and large ears with thick helices. Diagnosis of this syndrome is based on the clinic...
