[Intraocular cilia with macular pucker: clinicopathologic correlation].
OBJECTIVE
To report the pathological findings in a case of intravitreous cilia with macular pucker. We considered clinical factors to establish treatment. A pars plana vitrectomy and premacular membrane peeling were performed. Surgical samples were removed and studied with PAS, hematoxylin-eosin, Masson's Trichromic and immunohistochemistry.


CONCLUSIONS
The histopathological examination disclosed the presence of cilia partially surrounded by a cuticle layer and internal limiting membrane with a celullarity increase. Surgical extraction is indicated in those cases in which the intraocular cilia are associated with any surgically treatable process or when it produces ocular inflammation or visual disturbance.
