Epiretinal membrane (ERM)Epiretinal membrane (ERM)
An avascular fibrocellular membrane that proliferates on the inner surface of the retina to produce various degrees of macular dysfunction
Common synonymsCommon synonyms
Cellophane maculopathy Macular pucker Premacular fibrosis/ gliosis Surface wrinkle retinopathy Epimacular membrane
Epidemiology and pathogenesisEpidemiology and pathogenesis
Idiopathic ERMSecondary ERM
Epidemiology and pathogenesisEpidemiology and pathogenesis
Idiopathic ERM6% in > 50 yrs oldF>MBilat 20-30%
Epidemiology and pathogenesisEpidemiology and pathogenesis
Idiopathic ERMPVD 90%
Retinal glial cells migrate through defects in the ILM probably create at the time of vitreous separation
Epidemiology and pathogenesisEpidemiology and pathogenesis
SecondaryAfter repair of RRD : 4-8%–Risks : older age, preop VH, macular
detachment, preop sign of PVR, large RB, use of cryo, multiple Sx
–RPE cells that liberated into the vit cavity and proliferate
Epidemiology and pathogenesisEpidemiology and pathogenesis
SecondaryAfter prophylactic treatment of peripheral break : 1-2%Trauma, vit inflam condition, retinal vascular dis, long-standing VH
Ocular manifestationsOcular manifestations
Depend on its thickness and the extent (occlusion) to which it has undergone shrinkage or contraction (traction)
Ocular manifestations: thin ERM, Cellophane maculopathy
Ocular manifestations: thin ERM, Cellophane maculopathy
thin and transparent Abnormal glistening light reflex from the inner
retinal surface Mostly asymptomatic
Ocular manifestation: thick ERM, puckerOcular manifestation: thick ERM, pucker Inner retinal striae radaite from edge of ERM White-gray/ white translucent membrane, may
obscure visualization of the retinal vessels
Ocular manifestation: thick ERMOcular manifestation: thick ERM
More severe degree of macular dysfunctionMacular distortion, folding, puckeringMacular edema, pre-retinal/ intraretinal hemorrhageFoveal ectopia, macular pseudoholeTRD, RB, RRD
ERM with Foveal ectopiaERM with Foveal ectopia
Ocular manifestation: thick ERMOcular manifestation: thick ERM
Vision loss Metamorphopsia central photopsia binocular diplopia macropsia
Ocular manifestation : pseudo or true macular holeOcular manifestation : pseudo or true macular hole
PseudoholeWrinkle of inner retinal surfaceRetinal tissue at the base of pseudoholeAbsence of characteristics of true hole: yellow pigment deposits in the base, halo of neural detachment. Overlying operculum/ pseudooperculum
Equivocal cases : OCT, FFA
PseudoholePseudohole
Diagnosis and ancillary testingDiagnosis and ancillary testing
Clinical, based on biomicroscopic observation Examination/ photography with Red-free light Watzke-Allen test OCT FFA: retinal vascular distortion that underlies an
ERM

VMT syndrome Combined RPE and retinal hamartoma Prominent macular light reflex in the young CME Optic disc swelling (juxtapapillary ERM) Idiopathic MH
PathologyPathology
ERM consists of avascular fibrocellular sheetNative vitreousNewly synthetic collagenFragment of ILM
Myofibroblastic Cells : RPE cells, fibrous astrocytes, macrophages
TreatmentTreatment
ERM with minimal symtoms : no treatment but observation
Treat in cases ofSignificant visual lossMetamorphopsiaIntolerable binocular diplopia
Goal of treatmentGoal of treatment
Reduce or eliminate most common mechanisms of visual loss, including macular distortion, TRD, foveal ectopia, membrane that cover the fovea, retinal vascular leakage with macular edema, traction-induce obstruction of axoplasmic fold
Surgical proceduresSurgical procedures Pars plana vitrectomy +/- staining Engage the edge of
ERM with a retinal pick/ forceps/ sharp bent-tip needle
Peel the membrane with forceps

Course and outcomesCourse and outcomes
Most pts who have ERM experience little or no symptom progression after dx
10-25% of eyes show a decline in VA in mths/ yrs
Rarely spontaneous separate from retina
Course and outcomesCourse and outcomes
After Sx, resolute within days/ wksVA improve 2 or more snellen lines in 60-
85% of eyes and may continue for 6-12 mths after Sx
2-15% of eyes have worse VA postop Visual function rarely returns to normal
Cases with minimal benefit Cases with minimal benefit
Patients who have symptoms that has lasted longer than 1 yr
Findings that suggest long-standing casesAtrophic/ hypertrophic RPE alterationsIntraretinal lipid/ hard exudatesMicrovascular changes such as microaneurysms
ComplicationsComplicationsProgressive sclerotic cataract (MC)
60-70% in 2 yrs Peripheral retinal breaks RRD Posterior retinal breaks Photic maculopathy Endophthalmitis Recurrence 5%
