TitreEpiretinal membrane maculopathy and poor visual function in childhood
ButDescription of two cases of epiretinal membrane (ERM) maculopathy responsible for poor visual function in children
MéthodesRetrospective observational case series of 2 young patients with an ERM maculopathy leading to abnormal visual function at an early age
RésultatsMacular epiretinal membrane is an uncommon pathology in childhood, most frequently associated with traumatic or uveitic causes. More rarely, it can be associated with neurofibromatosis type 2 (with or without a retinal pigment epithelium hamartoma) or persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous. In the absence of the aforementioned causes, as in our two cases, the diagnosis is idiopathic ERM maculopathy
ConclusionERM maculopathy is rare in children and may be idiopathic. Its presence can explain failure of a well conducted anti-amblyopia treatment. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a useful and powerful tool to highlight an ERM maculopathy unrevealed by simple ophthalmoscopy
