MANJANDAVIDA, MD, CAROL L. SHIELDS, MD, SWATHI KALIKI, MD, JERRY A. SHIELDS, MD Purpose: To evaluate epiretinal membrane (ERM) response after cryotherapy for retinal vasoproliferative tumors (VPTs). Method: Retrospective interventional case series. Results: Of 16 eyes with VPT and ERM, the tumor was classified as primary in 12 (75%) eyes or secondary in 4 (25%) eyes. The median patient age was 44 years (mean, 43 years; range, 9–70 years). The tumor was located in extramacular zone (n = 16, 100%) and inferotemporal quadrant (n = 12, 75%). The mean tumor base was 6 mm, and thickness was 3 mm. The ERM involved the macula in 12 (75%) eyes and extramacular zone in 4 (25%) eyes, with best-corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better in 6 (38%) eyes. Associated features included cystoid macular edema (n = 8, 50%), subretinal fluid (n = 10, 63%), vitreous cells (n = 9, 56%), and vitreous hemorrhage (n = 7, 44%). Single-session cryo- therapy (double freeze–thaw) to the VPT was performed in each case. Over mean follow-up of 68 months (median,
