Sumario:Ultrasonography suggested the diagnosis of cataract associated with persistent fetal intraocular vasculature in a 26‐day‐old sambar deer. The deer was ill and died despite intense critical care. Globes were removed. Histological characteristics of persistent fetal vasculature and secondary cataract are reported expanding the knowledge of ophthalmic disorders in wild ungulates.
