PFV has been reported for decades; however, our understanding of the pathophysiology/pathogenesis of PFV, and the diagnostic and treatment modalities for PFV have evolved over time, and these advancements have improved diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. However and in spite of these advancements, the heterogeneity of this disease continues to make PFV a diagnostic challenge. Here, we review what is currently known about various important aspects of PFV to update and enhance the knowledge of ophthalmologists who encounter and manage PFV in clinical practice.Keywords: diagnostic and management strategies, persistent fetal vasculature, PFV, current insightsPrakhunhungsit SBerrocal AMDove Medical Pressarticlediagnostic and management strategiespersistent fetal vasculaturepfvcurrent insightsOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 4325-4335 (2020)
