Prevalence of Persistent Hyperplastic Primary Vitreous
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV). We retrospectively analyzed 7, 856 patients at our hospital for health screening during the 1-year period. All patients, including 4, 421 men and 3, 435 women, were analyzed using fundus photographs. The overall prevalence of PHPV was found to be 0.064% (5/7, 856). Out of 5 patients with PHPV, 3 were men (3/4, 421; 0.068%), and 2 were women (2/3, 435; 0.058%). Among the patients who underwent health screening, the prevalence of PHPV was found to be 0.064%. These results may aid in explaining clinically rare conditions.
