[Changes in the internal limiting retinal membrane after epiretinal peeling].
The authors describe the histological features of an extensive epiretinal membrane surgically removed from an eye with posterior penetrating ocular trauma. A pars plana vitrectomy and removal of the epiretinal membrane were performed. Histological preparations revealed a large segment of internal limiting membrane (ILM) adherent to the epiretinal membrane. This case report illustrates two points: the adherence between ILM and Muller cells is quite weak; removal of extensive portions of ILM could encourage rapid re-proliferative phenomena.
