Epiretinal Membrane: Rock and Roll

Abstract

A 54-year-old female presented 6 months before with complaints of metamorphosia and diminution of vision in both eyes. She had bilateral cellophane maculopathy and was advised observation. 6 months later, patient presented to us with history of blunt trauma to the left eye with a rock. Macula showed a curled over sigmoid shaped membrane in the left eye. OCT confirmed a rolled over epiretinal membrane. The spontaneous release of ERM can be attributed to various factors like PVD, remodeling of the membrane as well as sudden fluctuation in intraocular pressure.
