hyaloid artery

He was also the first to describe and identify the remnant of the embryonic hyaloid artery.

In the postnatal eye, Cloquet's canal marks the former location of the hyaloid artery.

After regression of the hyaloid artery, the lens receives all its nourishment from the aqueous humor.

Occasionally the artery may not fully regress, resulting in the condition persistent hyaloid artery.

This plaque forms a fibrous sheath around the hyaloid artery where it leaves the optic disc.

At birth the hyaloid artery regresses, and is normally completely regressed by the time of eyelid opening.

Beginning in the fourth month of development, the hyaloid artery and its related vasculature begin to atrophy and completely disappear by birth.

The hyaloid artery provides nutrition to the lens during development in the fetus, and runs forward to the lens from the optic disc.

The hyaloid artery, an artery running through the vitreous humour during the fetal stage of development, regresses in the third trimester of pregnancy.

Regression of the hyaloid artery leaves a clear central zone through the vitreous humor, called the hyaloid canal or Cloquet's canal.

Bergmeister's papilla is a remnant of the hyaloid artery fibrous sheath and is frequently observed as an incidental clinical finding.

During the tenth week of development in humans (time varies depending on species), the lens grows independent of a blood supply and the hyaloid artery usually regresses.

The hyaloid artery is a branch of the ophthalmic artery, which is itself a branch of the internal carotid artery.

An anterior remnant of the hyaloid artery can be seen in some people as Mittendorf's dot, a small pinpoint-like scar on the posterior surface of the lens.

By nine weeks into human development, the lens is surrounded and nourished by a net of vessels, the tunica vasculosa lentis, which is derived from the hyaloid artery.

Bergmeister's papilla arises from the centre of the optic disc, consists of a small tuft of fibrous tissue and represents a remnant of the hyaloid artery.

Hyaloid canal is a small transparent canal running through the vitreous body from the optical nerve disc to the lens; in the fetus it contains a prolongation of the central artery of the retina, the hyaloid artery.

Short legs in conjunction with eye abnormalities: Due to a genetic defect at the COL2A1 locus occurs on disproportionate dwarfism with short limbs in connection with cataracts, malformations of the retina and / or retinal detachment, liquefaction of the vitreous and a persistent hyaloid artery.
