The role of vitreous cortex remnants in proliferative vitreoretinopathy formation demonstrated by histopathology: A case report

Purpose: The pathogenesis of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), the most important cause of retinal detachment surgery failure, is still not fully understood. We previously hypothesized a causal link between vitreoschisis-induced vitreous cortex remnants (VCR) and PVR formation. The purpose of t...
