Evaluation of inner segment/outer segment junctions in different types of epiretinal membranes

Abstract: Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the relationships of inner/outer segment (IS/OS) junction disruption, macular thickness, and epiretinal membrane (ERM) grade with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), as well as the relationship between IS/OS junction disruption and ERM grade. Methods: Fifty-four eyes of 54 patients with different grades of ERM were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were classified into three groups by ERM grade according to retinal striae and vessel distortion: grade/group 1, vis… Show more

“…Among morphological changes of the retina in idiopathic ERM patients observed in OCT, outer retinal integrity seems to be related to potential visual acuity. This is consistent with previous studies showing that ellipsoid zone or interdigitation zone is related to BCVA [ 7 8 9 10 11 12 ]. UCVA was not associated with outer retinal integrity, but was significantly correlated with CMT and inner retinal irregularity index.…”

“…In contrast, patients with retinal abnormalities typically showed more decreased UCVA even with mild refractive error. In most clinical studies, visual function has been measured by BCVA after correcting refractive errors, and BCVA showed good correlation with retinal status [ 7 8 9 10 11 12 ]. Few studies have focused on UCVA, and there is little study on the relationship between UCVA and retinal state.…”

“…Several types of epiretinal membranes were defined in previous studies [ 3 , 4 , 7 9 , 12 , 13 ]. Hwang et al [ 8 ] were the first authors to define the later so called "foveal herniation" subtype as "outer retinal inward projection and inner retinal thickening.…”

“…Surgical treatment is usually required if it causes metamorphopsia and visual deterioration, and consists of vitrectomy and ERM peeling [ 4 6 ]. After the introduction of optical coherence tomography (OCT), different ERM subtypes have been described [ 7 9 ]. The ERMs have been classified into diffuse, cystoid macular edema, vitreomacular traction, and pseudolamellar hole subtypes [ 7 ].…”
