Abstract
Epimacular membranes when responsible for a significant loss of visual acuity, generally require treatment by vitrectomy and peeling of the membrane. We report the case of a spontaneous peeling of a macular pucker after cryotherapy of peripheral retinal vasoproliferative tumors. Review of the literature.
