Overview

The authors examined samples of the epimacular tissue in clinically significant macular edema by means of the transmissing electron microscopy. They did not found morphological differences between samples from patients already treated by means of laser photocoagulation before the pars plana vitrectomy and those without the laser treatment. Findings may be divided into three groups:

(1) the inner limiting membrane (ILM) covered with collagen vitreous fibers, (2) cells’ elements of the fibroblasts category, and (3) fibrous astrocytes in the vitreous cortex constituting one- or multilayer cellular membranes.

Key words:
Transmissing electron microscopy, clinically significant macular edema, diabetic macular edema, peeling of the inner limiting membrane, pars plana vitrectomy
