Hyaloid vessels and primary vitreous begin to involute in the second month of gestation giving way to the secondary vitreous (the vitreous humor). Small remnants of the system are common findings in healthy adults, e.g. Bergmeister papilla (tuft of tissue at the optic disc) and miftendorf dot (tag of tissue on the posterior capsule of lens). However extensive remnants of this "hyaloid vessel - primary vitreous" system are called persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous.
