Persistent fetal vasculature can have a wide spectrum of presentations varying from Bergmeister’s papillae to persistent pupillary membrane (from posterior to anterior) [1]. Just like Mittendorf’s dot which is seen as an opacity on the posterior capsule and represents attachment of hyaloid artery to the lens, we would like to describe another form of persistent fetal vasculature which we would like to call Khokhar’s dot after the author which represents crumpled mass of opacity seen trapped in the network of persistent pupillary membrane anterior to the crystalline lens (Fig. 1) [1].
Figure 1: (a): oblique illumination x10 showing persistant pupillary membrane which has crumpled to form an opacity (white arrow); (b): x25 magnified view of (a); (c): retroillumination x10 of (a); (d): x25 magnification of (c).
