After removal of the internal limiting membrane or the epiretinalmembrane, repeat intraoperative imaging was obtained.
2
Nine eyes also underwent peeling of the epiretinalmembrane or removal of the posterior vitreous cortex.
3
The most common findings were epiretinalmembrane and macular degeneration with frequencies that varied by population studied.
4
Five eyes from five patients with macular hole or epiretinalmembrane underwent BBG-assisted internal limiting membrane and epiretinalmembrane removal.
5
Eight subjects who underwent vitrectomy for a macular epiretinalmembrane or macular hole were enrolled as control for the analysis of vitreous VEGF.
6
Conclusions: The prevalence of epiretinalmembranes was similar to that reported in other population-based studies.
7
Intervention: Epiretinalmembranes 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 epiretinalmembranes.
9
Ocular toxoplasmosis causes abnormalities in the vitreous that are responsible for several types of well-known complications including retinal detachment and epiretinalmembranes.
10
The typical appearance of apoptotic nuclei, including nuclear chromatin condensation, was detected scattered inhomogeneously throughout the epiretinalmembranes, in clusters, or even in single cells.
11
Epiretinalmembrane and macular hole might occur even in cases in which the posterior vitreous cortex has been removed completely during triamcinolone-assisted vitrectomy for PDR.
