The purpose of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV). We retrospectively analyzed 7, 856 patients at our hospital for health screening during the 1-year period. All patients, including 4, 421 men and 3, 435 women, were analyzed using fundus photographs. The overall prevalence of PHPV was found to be 0.064% (5/7, 856). Out of 5 patients with PHPV, 3 were men (3/4, 421; 0.068%), and 2 were women (2/3, 435; 0.058%). Among the patients who underwent health screening, the prevalence of PHPV was found to be 0.064%. These results may aid in explaining clinically rare conditions.
