VITREOUS CYTOKINE PROFILE IN AN EYE WITH A VASOPROLIFERATIVE TUMOR
Proinflammatory and proangiogenic cytokines were elevated in the vitreous of this patient's eye with a primary VPT. We suggest that the endothelial cells and macrophages that comprise VPTs could secrete these cytokines into the vitreous, resulting in vitreous haze and an overzealous fibrotic response manifested as epiretinal membrane formation.
