A 12-year-old girl presented with decreased vision in OS since early childhood. OD was normal. OS revealed best-corrected visual acuity of hand movements with −9.0 diopters sphere, large exotropia, and posterior subcapsular cataract nasally [Figure 1]a. Fundus [Figure 1]b showed extensive myelinated retinal nerve fibers (MRNFs) and persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) in the form of a fibrous stalk extending from optic disc to lens. Interestingly, while extensive MRNFs are associated with axial myopia, PHPV is associated with a smaller globe.[1],[2],[3] This patient had axial length of 21.84 mm OD and 24.85 mm OS. The parents were apprised of the prognosis. Although both PHPV and MRNF are well-known anomalies in isolation, to the best of our knowledge, combined association of both has not been documented in literature till date. Also, there are very few case reports describing normal/longer axial length in PHPV.[4] | Figure 1: (a) Slit lamp photograph of left eye of a 12-year-old female showing posterior subcapsular cataract nasally.
