Abstract

To evaluate the secondary epiretinal membrane (ERM) response after photocoagulation in retinal vascular tumor. This retrospective interventional case series included 8 patients (8 eyes) who were diagnosed with retinal vascular tumor and secondary ERM. All eyes were treated with photocoagulation and underwent comprehensive ophthalmologic examinations at baseline and at each follow-up. Of the 8 eyes with retinal vascular tumor and associated ERM, 4 eyes (50%) were von Hippel and 4 eyes (50%) were vasoproliferative tumor of the retina. The mean follow-up time was 12.63 ± 14.64 (range, 4–51) months. The BCVA in the eyes at baseline was 1.16 ± 1.10 logMAR (range, HM to 20/40). ERM located in the macular region in 100% of the eyes and led to CME with a mean central foveal thickness of 497.6 ± 147.7 μm (range, 294–736 μm) at presentation. After photocoagulation, the ERM spontaneously peeled in 7 of 8 eyes (87.5%), among which one case required surgical treatment due to complicating tractional retinal detachment. After ERM peeling without complications, 6 eyes recovered normal macular structure, with an improved BCVA in 5 eyes and a stable BCVA in 1 eye. Laser photocoagulation is necessary and effective treatment for retinal vascular tumor. After laser photocoagulation, retinal vascular tumor-related ERM spontaneously released in 75% of the cases, without complication and surgical intervention.
