Disease of the eye in response to changes in the vitreous humor or more rarely, diabetes.
1
After removal of the internal limiting membrane or the epiretinal membrane, repeat intraoperative imaging was obtained.
2
Nine eyes also underwent peeling of the epiretinal membrane or removal of the posterior vitreous cortex.
3
The most common findings were epiretinal membrane and macular degeneration with frequencies that varied by population studied.
4
Five eyes from five patients with macular hole or epiretinal membrane underwent BBG-assisted internal limiting membrane and epiretinal membrane removal.
5
Eight subjects who underwent vitrectomy for a macular epiretinal membrane or macular hole were enrolled as control for the analysis of vitreous VEGF.
6
Conclusions: The prevalence of epiretinal membranes was similar to that reported in other population-based studies.
7
Intervention: Epiretinal membranes were peeled without infusion of balanced salt solution and removal of the vitreous.
8
Population shifts in the age distribution to older ages could lead to an increase in mild visual impairment caused by epiretinal membranes.
9
Ocular toxoplasmosis causes abnormalities in the vitreous that are responsible for several types of well-known complications including retinal detachment and epiretinal membranes.
10
The typical appearance of apoptotic nuclei, including nuclear chromatin condensation, was detected scattered inhomogeneously throughout the epiretinal membranes, in clusters, or even in single cells.
11
Epiretinal membrane and macular hole might occur even in cases in which the posterior vitreous cortex has been removed completely during triamcinolone-assisted vitrectomy for PDR.
