Abnormal vascular complex within an idiopathic epiretinal membrane imaged by optical coherence tomography angiography

Conclusion: Spectral domain optical coherence tomography, routinely performed in these patients, may underestimate the presence of abnormal vascularization, as both preretinal neovascular complexes and thick ERMs appear as hyperreflective structures. Optical coherence tomography angiography allows a fast and depth-resolved visualization of these abnormal vascular complexes inside idiopathic ERMs. Diagnosis of a vascularized epiretinal structure could be noteworthy before decision of retinal surgery.
