Large Internal Limiting Membrane Tears: Prevalence, Clinical Characteristics, and Surgical Utility

2022, American Journal of Ophthalmology Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :The standard treatment for this type of ERM is a surgical approach with pars plana vitrectomy. Cystoid macular edema may present in about 20–40% of ERM patients.5–7 Very rarely the ERM may spontaneously separate in younger patients.8,9
Proteomics reveals a set of highly enriched proteins in epiretinal membrane compared with inner limiting membrane
2019, Experimental Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :Various cell types have been identified as components including: astrocytes, Müller cells, fibrocytes, retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) and myofibroblasts (Bellhorn et al., 1975). It has been claimed that glial cells from retina migrate through dehiscences in the ILM and create a fibroglial layer on top of it (Bellhorn et al., 1975; Smiddy et al., 1989; Kohno et al., 2009; Bu et al., 2015; Appiah et al., 1988; Cherfan et al., 1988). There is limited data available on the non-cellular components of epiretinal membrane.
Pars plana vitrectomy with intraoperative optical coherence tomography for sub-internal limiting membrane fibrosis excision in a child with Terson syndrome: Surgical and pathological correlation
2019, American Journal of Ophthalmology Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a common avascular fibrocellular proliferation that occurs on the surface of the retina and causes retinal thickening and wrinkling, leading to metamorphopsia and decreased visual acuity. ERMs are typically idiopathic and occur predominantly in patients over 50 years of age, in association with posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and anomalous internal limiting membrane (ILM).1,2 PVD and ERM formation in the pediatric population is rare and often associated with an underlying etiology such as trauma, ocular inflammation, intraocular tumors, retinovascular disease or combined hamartoma of the retina and retinal pigment epithelium.2,3

2016, OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Other studies found that CS was reduced significantly in eyes with PVD.13,14 Because PVD was present in 90.2% of the 41 MP eyes in this study, which confirms previous reports,8,44 it is understandable that CS was reduced in these eyes. Contrast sensitivity also was reduced in the control fellow eyes with PVD (4.36±1.4%W), but not in normal fellow eyes without PVD (2.81±0.7%W; P<0.001).
