Abstract

Introduction: Fovea plana is indicative of an immature inner retina, yet its association with epimacular membrane (ERM) remains unexplored. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of fovea plana in the contralateral eye of patients diagnosed with ERM.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on consecutive patients in a monocentric tertiary ophthalmic department between January and April 2021. The study included all patients referred for ERM, with dense optical coherence tomography (OCT) B-scans utilized to assess the incidence of fovea plana in the contralateral eye. Patients with bilateral ERM were excluded from the analysis.

Results: Out of 181 patients, 26 exhibited fovea plana in the contralateral eye, resulting in an incidence rate of 14.3%. Demographic characteristics, OCT patterns, and indications for surgery did not differ significantly between patients with and without fovea plana.

Discussion: The prevalence of fovea plana in patients with ERM did not exhibit a statistically significant increase compared to the reported incidence in patients undergoing preoperative cataract surgery.

Conclusion: In our cohort, the incidence of fovea plana in patients with ERM was determined to be 14.3%.

视网膜外膜患者平面眼窝的患病率和意义。

简介平面眼窝表明视网膜内部尚未发育成熟，但其与眼底上膜（ERM）的关联性仍未得到探讨。本研究旨在调查平滑眼窝在确诊为 ERM 患者的对侧眼中的发生率：该研究对2021年1月至4月期间在一家单中心三级眼科医院就诊的连续患者进行了回顾性分析。研究对象包括所有因ERM转诊的患者，利用密集光学相干断层扫描（OCT）B扫描来评估对侧眼的平面眼窝发生率。分析中不包括双侧 ERM 患者：结果：在 181 名患者中，26 名患者的对侧眼有平面眼窝，发生率为 14.3%。有平面眼窝和没有平面眼窝的患者在人口统计学特征、OCT模式和手术适应症方面没有显著差异：讨论：与白内障术前手术患者的发病率相比， ERM 患者的平面眼窝发病率并没有出现统计学意义上的显著增加：在我们的队列中，ERM 患者的平面眼窝发生率为 14.3%。
