Persistent foetal vasculature with anterior retinal extension, anterior vitreous extension, and morning glory syndrome: a rare constellation of congenital ocular developmental anomalies
Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: This case report describes a rare combination of persistent foetal vasculature, morning glory syndrome, anterior retinal extension, and anterior vitreous extension in a 3-month-old baby with congenital cataract. This constellation complicates clinical evaluation, surgical management, and functional and anatomical outcomes. The present case report highlights the significance of identifying multiple abnormalities before undertaking congenital cataract surgery. Families must be informed about these components before surgery. The name hypothesis-generating ocular dysgenesis association would be more appropriate for characterising this constellation of symptoms.
