Abstract
GARAY-ARAMBURU, G and LARRAURI-ARANA, A. Spontaneous resolution of an idiopathic epiretinal membrane in a young patient. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2005, vol.80, n.12, pp.741-743. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: Idiopathic epiretinal membranes are uncommon in young patients. The characteristics and evolution of these membranes are different from those in adults. We present the case of a young patient with an idiopathic epiretinal membrane, that several months later, showed spontaneous resolution with an associated posterior vitreous detachment. Discussion: Idiopathic epiretinal membranes in young patients resolve spontaneously more frequently than in adults; however in many cases are associated with posterior vitreous detachment. We discuss the evolution of these membranes.
Keywords : Epiretinal membrane; spontaneous resolution; young patient.
