Lamellar Hole-associated Epiretinal Proliferation in choroideremia: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To report a clinical case of a patient affected with choroideremia (CHM) who underwent macular surgery for a macular hole (MH) with Lamellar Hole-associated Epiretinal Proliferation (LHEP).

Case presentation

We have described a 48-year-old male patient affected with CHM who developed MH with LHEP over a 7-year follow-up. The patient was referred to the Regional Center for Hereditary Retinal Degenerations of the Eye Clinic in Florence (Italy) in April 2012. The patient underwent vitrectomy and Inner Limiting Membrane (ILM) and LHEP peeling with fluid-air exchange. Ultra-structural examination of the excised epiretinal proliferation, carried out using electron microscopy, showed dense amorphous material, mainly composed of abundant clusters of fibrous collagens rese
