- Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) is a congenital eye disorder caused by the failure to properly absorb the hyaloid system and often appears unilaterally in three forms: anterior, posterior, and mixed.
- A seven-year-old patient was referred for bilateral papilledema and showed excellent visual acuity, but fundus examination revealed signs of pseudopapilledema and a distinct band near the optic disc.
- Ocular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography (OCT) confirmed a diagnosis of bilateral posterior PFV, indicating a case of papillary traction syndrome.

We describe a patient who presented with a progressive loss of unilateral visual acuity, wrongly suggesting an infectious or inflammatory disease.
