Bergmeister's papilla is a small tuft of glial tissue which arises from the center of the optic disc, and represents a remnant of the fetal hyaloid artery. The hyaloid artery provides nutrition to the lens during development, and runs forward to the lens from the optic disc. At birth the hyaloid artery regresses, and is normally completely regressed by the time of birth. Bergmeister's papilla is frequently observed as an incidental clinical finding if this artery has an incomplete regression posteriorly. However, in the severe forms it can be associated with cataracts, persistence of the primitive vitreous, microphthalmia, vitreous hemorrhages and sometimes tractional retinal detachment, due to contraction of the residual fibro vascular tissue. Therefore, careful monitoring of vitreous thickening in the peripapillary areas, both by examining the ocular fundus, and especially by SD-OCT, is of considerable importance. Here we have one such of a 30 year old young male who came in for a routine checkup, in whom we noted a Bergmeister’s papilla. Due to its benign nature, patient was reassured and was asked to follow up yearly.

The hyaloid artery (“3”, left) feeds the vasa hyaloidea propria (“2”, left) which anastomosis with the tunica vasculosa lentis (“1”, left). The histologic section to the right is stained with H & E (bar = 100 uM) [Left: from Yee at al.: Vitreous cytokines and regression of the fetal hyaloid vasculature.

Dark-field slit microscopy was performed on fresh, unfixed, post-mortem human eyes that had undergone dissection to peel off the sclera, choroid, and retina. The vitreous body remains attached to the anterior segment which is seen below, while the posterior pole is above in these images. These horizontal optical sections demonstrate intense light scattering by the posterior vitreous cortex and the remnant of the hyaloid artery destined to be Cloquet’s Canal (left image), but no other light scattering within the vitreous body in either the 33 GW human fetus (left image) or this 6 year-old child (right image).

Gross pathology photo of a Bergmeister Papilla. It is a remnant of incompletely resorbed hyaloid vasculature from ocular development. This glial tissue is seen emminating from the optic nerve, which also shows glaucomatous cupping. The eye was enucleated due to a choroidal melanoma.

Persistence and hyperplasia of the primary vitreous (PHPV). The dense fibrovascular tissue molds the posterior surface of the lens and has drawn the ciliary processes and peripheral retina toward the center of the mass. A section of the hyaloid artery is present in the vitreous cavity (arrow). (A.F.l.P. No. 744398)

Examples of Bergmeister's papilla. Note the strands of vitreous, composed of glial cells, attached to the papilla. The presence of a small vessel within the Bergmeis­ter's papilla (lower right) suggests that its origin is related to the hyaloid artery. (E. P. Nos. 31888,38589, 29360, and 32239)
