OBJECTIVE: To determine the visual outcome after surgery for persistent hyperplastic primary @entity15811 using modern vitreoretinal techniques. DESIGN: Retrospective medical record review during a 5-year period (June 1992 to June 1997). Information recorded for each @entity1 included age, medical history, sex, results of preoperative ocular examination, age at diagnosis, procedure performed, intraoperative and postoperative complications, location and number of sclerotomy sites, type of aphakic rehabilitation, amblyopic therapy given, final visual acuity, and length of follow-up. RESULTS: Fourteen @entity1 who underwent surgical management of combined anterior and posterior persistent hyperplastic primary @entity15811 were identified. Eleven @entity1 underwent aphakic rehabilitation and aggressive amblyopic therapy consisting of occlusive therapy for several waking hours each day. One additional older @entity1 received aphakic rehabilitation only. Ten eyes (71%) achieved a visual acuity of 20/300 or better, and 8 (57%) obtained a final visual acuity of 20/100 or better. Average length of follow-up was 22 months (range, 4-57 months). Nine @entity1 were fitted with an aphakic soft contact lens, 2 older @entity1 had a posterior chamber intraocular lens placed at the time of vitrectomy, and 1 @entity1 wore aphakic spectacles. CONCLUSIONS: With modern vitreoretinal techniques, aphakic rehabilitation, and aggressive amblyopic therapy, useful vision can be obtained in the majority of @entity1 with combined anterior and posterior persistent hyperplastic primary @entity15811 .
