Fovea ERM After Fovea-sparing ILM Peeling

Severe Foveal Epiretinal Membrane Contraction After Previous Fovea-sparing Internal Limiting Membrane Peeling Surgery

To report cases who had received previous fovea-sparing internal limiting peeling membrane and developed secondary fovea epiretinal membrane contraction

Purpose: To report the rare complication of foveal epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation on residual internal limiting membrane (ILM) with severe contraction after previous fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling.

Study design: Retrospective case series Methods: We report patients who previously received fovea-sparing ILM peeling and complicated with foveal ERM formation and contraction.

Inclusion Criteria:

• patients who developed secondary fovea epiretinal membrane after previous fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

• patients who did not receive previous fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane surgery
