Abstract
Introduction

Hemorrhage from an entire persistent hyaloid artery (PHA) is an uncommon anomaly.

Case report

A 52-year-old female presented with blurred vision in her amblyopic eye. Biomicroscopy revealed a blood filled PHA which was inserted in the posterior crystalloid. Ophthalmoscopy showed a mild vitreous hemorrhage. A tubular structure showing a hypo-reflexivity inside the PHA was able to be analyzed using optical coherence tomography (OCT). However, Doppler ultrasound did not detect the presence of active blood flow within it.

Conclusions

The performance of non-invasive imaging tests such as the OCT and Doppler ultrasound may be useful in the study of vitreous hemorrhage associated with PHA.

Resumen
Introducción

La hemorragia vítrea secundaria a una arteria hialoidea persistente (AHP) íntegra es una anomalía infrecuente.

Caso clínico

Una mujer de 52 años presentó disminución de visión en su ojo ambliope. La biomicroscopia reveló una AHP rellena de sangre que se insertaba en la cristaloides posterior. En la oftalmoscopia se objetivó un hemovítreo leve. La tomografía de coherencia óptica (TCO) permitió analizar la estructura tubular de la AHP mostrando un interior hiporreflectivo. Sin embargo, el eco-doppler no detectó la presencia de flujo sanguíneo activo en su interior.

Conclusiones

La realización de pruebas de imagen no invasivas que incluyen la TCO y el eco-doppler pueden ser útiles en el estudio de una hemorragia asociada a una AHP.
