Spontaneous Separation of Secondary Epiretinal Membrane (ERM) with Retinal Tear After Retinal Laser Photocoagulation

Introduction: Reporting a case of spontaneous separation epiretinal membrane (ERM) with retinal break and investigation of various dimensions and influencing factors. Case Presentation: The article presents a rare ۴۴-years-old female clinical case spontaneous separation of secondary ERM. The patient had secondary ERM and Retinal tear in the right eye after complaining of losing vision. the patient had undergone ۱ sessions of barrier laser photocoagulation for Retinal tear in the right eye. A method of cautious waiting was chosen. There was no surgical treatment. The spontaneous secondary ERM separation with the improvement in visual acuity, residual parapapillary fixation, and the diminution in retinal thickness were discovered during the subsequent visit. Conclusions: As spontaneous secondary ERM separation and improvement in visual symptoms is a possibility.
