Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous versus retinal detachment
Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the orbits occasionally demonstrates
retinal detachment (RD); this may be as an incidental finding, as a separate entity related to orbital pathology with differing local causes, or as a part of other congenital systemic or metabolic diseases. One congenital ocular disease which could be misdiagnosed as RD is persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV), which itself can be associated with RD. MRI scanning features of retinal detachment and associated causes can assist in differentiating both entities effectively, allowing the radiologist to reach the proper conclusions with resultant benefits in subsequent management.
