摘要：

This is a report of rare cases of full-term infants born with persistent tunica vasculosa lentis (TVL) with no retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and no plus disease. This condition can be mistaken with iris vascular enlargement-associated plus disease, leading to unnecessary laser or intravitreal injections. The cases were treated with close observation, which resulted in complete resolution of the TVL. In conclusion, we encourage the diagnosis of TVL and careful monitoring of such cases before the intervention, as the condition may revert completely.
