Case Report: Exacerbation and Spontaneous Separation of the Epiretinal Membrane Following Laser Photocoagulation of a Vasoproliferative Tumor of the Retina

The present report concerns a rare vasoproliferative tumor of the retina (VPTR) combined with a severe case of secondary epiretinal membrane (ERM). A 56-year-old male patient was diagnosed with VPTR and secondary ERM of the left eye. The patient underwent two rounds of laser photocoagulation (LP) of...

description The present report concerns a rare vasoproliferative tumor of the retina (VPTR) combined with a severe case of secondary epiretinal membrane (ERM). A 56-year-old male patient was diagnosed with VPTR and secondary ERM of the left eye. The patient underwent two rounds of laser photocoagulation (LP) of the tumor. The exacerbation of the ERM was observed after the first round of LP, while spontaneous separation over the five-month follow-up period was noted after the second round of LP. Thus, LP may represent a viable alternative treatment approach for VPTR combined with severe ERM.
