In the literature, there are a few cases of PHPV in adulthood. We report the novel presentation of phacoanaphylactic glaucoma secondary to posterior capsular rupture in an adult with PHPV. We discuss the best management of this condition with a review of the literature on this topic.</span></p><h4 style="font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0.25em 0px 0px; text-transform: uppercase; float: left; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">METHODS:</span></h4><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; font-size: 1.04em; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Case report and literature review.</span></p><h4 style="font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0.25em 0px 0px; text-transform: uppercase; float: left; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">RESULTS:</span></h4><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; font-size: 1.04em; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Medical management was unsuccessful in this case and <span class="highlight">vitrectomy</span> and fragmatome lensectomy improved vision from PL to counting fingers.</span></p><h4 style="font-size: 13px; margin: 0px 0.25em 0px 0px; text-transform: uppercase; float: left; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">CONCLUSION:</span></h4><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; font-size: 1.04em; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This case is unusual in the age of the patient in question as PHPV usually presents in childhood, as such there are few accounts in the literature to guide optimum management of adult PHPV. We suggest that surgical management of late-presenting PHPV should be considered to improve functional outcome.</span></p>
