Recurrent macular pucker. 1979

C P Wilkinson

A 43-year-old man with a history of multiple anterior segment operations had a severe preretinal membrane affecting macular function. The bulk of this lesion was removed by using vitrectomy techniques, but a recurrence of preretinal tissue was observed a few months after this procedure. The recurrent epiretinal membrane was removed in a second operation.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008266	Macula Lutea	An oval area in the retina, 3 to 5 mm in diameter, usually located temporal to the posterior pole of the eye and slightly below the level of the optic disk. It is characterized by the presence of a yellow pigment diffusely permeating the inner layers, contains the fovea centralis in its center, and provides the best phototropic visual acuity. It is devoid of retinal blood vessels, except in its periphery, and receives nourishment from the choriocapillaris of the choroid.
