Report of a case of posterior persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) case on a nine years old patient with low visual acuity on the left eye, referred by the school for ophthalmic evaluation. The PHPV can embrace a wide spectrum of ocular alterations involving retina, vitreous, optic nerve, macula, crystalline, iris and ciliary body besides anomalies like mycroftalmia and microcornea. We point out the importance of early ocular evaluation in children, late diagnosis and late treatment, in order to minimize the possibility of future damages to the health of these children.
