Persistent tunica vasculosa lentis is a
ocular anomaly. It is a form of persistent fetal vasculature
(PFV).
It is a developmental disorder of the
cataracts, and increased intraocular pressure. Elongated ciliary processes
are visible through the dilated pupil. A USG B-scan confirms diagnosis in the presence of a cataract.
