Abstract
Case report

A 5-year-old male presented with bilateral poor vision, esotropia and a previous diagnosis of cataract since he was 1 year old. The physical examination revealed bilateral posterior paracentric capsule opacification, vitreous cavity with a permeable pulsatile blood filled hyaloid artery in both eyes. He was kept under observation.

Discussion

Persistent hyaloid artery is an uncommon faulty primary vitreous regression, often unilateral (although it may be bilateral) and sporadic, associated with microphthalmos. It may be complicated with glaucoma and phthisis bulbi. Vitrectomy plus lensectomy or simple observation is the accepted treatment option.

Keywords:
Persistent hyaloid artery

Resumen
Caso clínico

Varón de 5 años de edad con mala visión bilateral, endotropía y diagnóstico previo de catarata desde el año de edad. En la exploración, se observa en ambos ojos opacidad capsular posterior paracentral, cavidad vítrea con arteria hialoidea permeable, ocupada por sangre y con pulso. Se dejó en vigilancia.

Discusión

La persistencia de la arteria hialoidea es infrecuente y es una falla en la involución del vítreo primario. Comúnmente es unilateral (aunque hay casos bilaterales), esporádico y asociado a microftalmos. Puede complicarse con glaucoma y pthisis bulbi. Vitrectomía más lensectomía u observación son opciones de tratamiento según el caso.

Palabras clave:
Persistencia de la arteria hialoidea
Catarata
