Abstract

A 36-year-old woman was scheduled for a vitrectomy of her left eye due to an epiretinal membrane (ERM) secondary to a retinal vasoproliferative tumor. Visual acuity (VA) was 20/20 in the right eye and 20/80 in the left. Before surgery, the patient’s vision had improved (20/20). Fundus examination and tomographic images revealed the spontaneous release of the ERM. ERM release usually presents after cryotherapy and photocoagulation. This is the first case in the literature documenting spontaneous ERM release in a vasoproliferarive tumor.
