- Description
- A 12 year-old Mexican male, asymptomatic, referred for evaluation after incidental finding of partial leukocoria on routine ophthalmologic examination. Slit-lamp evaluation revealed a fibrovascular retrolental membrane without evidence of retinal traction, associated with a fibrous stalk connecting to the optic disc. The stalk showed near-complete involution, consistent with a remnant of persistent fetal vasculature (posterior type).
