Descriptor English: Vitreoretinopathy, Proliferative
Descriptor Spanish: Vitreorretinopatía Proliferativa
Descriptor vitreorretinopatía proliferativa
Scope note: Retracción o contracción de la membrana vitreorretiniana que fundamentalmente es secundaria a la proliferación de células epiteliales del pigmento retiniano y de células gliales, particularmente de astrocitos fibrosos, seguidos de la formación de membrana. La formación de colágeno fibrilar y la proliferación celular parecen ser las bases de las propiedades contráctiles de las membranas epiretiniana y vítrea.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018630
Scope note: Vitreoretinal membrane shrinkage or contraction secondary to the proliferation of primarily retinal pigment epithelial cells and glial cells, particularly fibrous astrocytes, followed by membrane formation. The formation of fibrillar collagen and cellular proliferation appear to be the basis for the contractile properties of the epiretinal and vitreous membranes.
