Histological features of idiopathic premacular membrane were studied in 3 cases of different ages. All cases were female and complained of blurred vision without any causative moment. The age was 7 year in Case 1, 29 year in Case 2 and 68 year in Case 3. The cases underwent vitreous surgery with easy removal of the membranes. On light and electron microscopical observation, the membranes composed of retinal glial cells, connective tissue and the inner limiting membrane in Case 1, fibroblastic cells and connective tissues in Case 2, and connective tissues and the inner limiting membrane lacking any cellular component in Case 3. These findings strongly suggest the possibility of existence of various pathogeneity and developmental stages and types in idiopathic epimacular membrane.
对3例不同年龄的特发性黄斑前膜的组织学特征进行了研究。所有病例均为女性,主诉视力模糊且无任何诱发因素。病例1年龄为7岁,病例2为29岁,病例3为68岁。这些病例均接受了玻璃体手术,术中膜易于切除。光镜和电镜观察显示,病例1的膜由视网膜神经胶质细胞、结缔组织和内界膜组成;病例2由成纤维细胞和结缔组织组成;病例3由结缔组织和缺乏任何细胞成分的内界膜组成。这些发现有力地提示特发性黄斑前膜存在多种致病因素、发育阶段和类型的可能性。
