Purpose: To report a 71-year-old male patient diagnosed with epiretinal membrane-induced intraretinal neovascularization.
Observations: The presence of an epiretinal membrane (ERM) was confirmed by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), fluorescein and indocyanine angiography. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) revealed a neovascular membrane within the ERM. Intravitreal ranibizumab injections were administered three times at four-week intervals. Imaging revealed a stable membrane with no leakage. Five months after the third injection, OCT revealed intraretinal fluid. OCT-A showed a new branch of the neo-vascular membrane at the superficial capillary plexus. Following an additional ranibizumab injection, the membrane stabilized.
Conclusions And Importance: It is conceivable that neovascularization developed due to, or in close conjunction with an epiretinal membranes already in place.

Department of Ophthalmology, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Purpose: To investigate the clinical features and surgical outcomes in patients with epiretinal membrane-induced full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs).
Methods: Consecutive cases with epiretinal membrane-induced FTMH followed by a single surgeon were retrospectively reviewed (study group, 24 cases). The criteria of epiretinal membrane-induced FTMH selection were 1) documented lamellar macular hole before FTMH formation, 2) FTMH with lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation at the hole edge, and 3) FTMH with wider inner opening and narrower base.
Detection of early visual impairment in patients with epiretinal membrane.

Department of Ophthalmology, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Purpose: Patients with epiretinal membrane sometimes complain of impaired central visual function, despite good best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), as measured by visual acuity (VA) charts. Here, we evaluate early epiretinal membrane-induced changes in central VA.
Methods: Subjects were 72 eyes of 36 patients with epiretinal membrane in only one eye and a BCVA in each eye better than 1.

Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Shogoin, Sakyo-Ku, Kyoto, Japan.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between thickening of the inner and outer retinal layers and visual acuity in patients with idiopathic epiretinal membrane.
Methods: We examined 30 eyes of 30 patients and 25 eyes of 25 healthy volunteers as age-matched normal control subjects. The inner (between the vitreoretinal interface and the outer border of inner plexiform layer), outer, and full retinal thickness at the fovea, parafovea, and perifovea were measured using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.
Ultrastructures of the glial epiretinal membrane induced by activated macrophages.

Xijing Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an.
A rabbit model of glial epiretinal membrane was established following the injection of activated macrophages into the vitreous. The membrane was composed entirely of cells with glial characteristics, ie, abundant intermediate filaments, microvilli, junctional complexes and basement membranes. The extracellular matrix of the mature membranes contained collagen fibrils of 10 to 15 and 20 to 25 nm in diameter.
