Proposed mechanism of ERM proliferation in VMT syndrome based on Chang et al.10 After partial posterior vitreous detachment, small splits within the ILM may form which allow glial cells to gain access to the superficial retina which acts as a scaffold for ERM proliferation.2 These cells may also proliferate onto the detached hyaloid face, stongly anchoring the vitreous to the macula.
