Martini glass sign

Last revised by Frank Gaillard on 23 Dec 2024

The martini glass sign describes the appearance of the globe in persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV).

On MRI the retrolenticular tissue characteristic of this condition has a triangular shape, like that of a martini glass appearing as low T2 signal against the normal high T2 signal of the globe 1.
