Epiretinal membranes (ERM) are a common finding in old patients. Pars plana vitrectomy is effective for removing ERM from the macula, but some postoperative complications are relatively frequent. In the present report, we describe a 73-year-old man in whom extrafoveal choroidal neovascularization developed four months after surgery.
Choroidal neovascularization was treated by argon laser photocoagulation.
Six months after treatment, the choroidal neovascularization was obliterated, with no recurrence of ERM.
Choroidal neovascularization can be an unusual complication of ERM surgery, and should be suspected in case of poor visual outcome or recurrence of symptoms.
视网膜前膜(ERM)在老年患者中较为常见。玻璃体切除术对于从黄斑区清除ERM有效,但一些术后并发症相对频繁。在本报告中,我们描述了一名73岁男性,其在手术后四个月发生了黄斑外脉络膜新生血管。
脉络膜新生血管采用氩激光光凝治疗。
治疗六个月后,脉络膜新生血管闭塞,且ERM未复发。
脉络膜新生血管可能是ERM手术的一种不常见并发症,在视力预后不佳或症状复发的情况下应予以怀疑。
