Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Fovea plana is indicative of an immature inner retina, yet its association with epimacular membrane (ERM) remains unexplored. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of fovea plana in the contralateral eye of patients diagnosed with ERM.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on consecutive patients in a monocentric tertiary ophthalmic department between January and April 2021. The study included all patients referred for ERM, with dense optical coherence tomography (OCT) B-scans utilized to assess the incidence of fovea plana in the contralateral eye. Patients with bilateral ERM were excluded from the analysis.
RESULTS: Out of 181 patients, 26 exhibited fovea plana in the contralateral eye, resulting in an incidence rate of 14.3%. Demographic characteristics, OCT patterns, and indications for surgery did not differ significantly between patients with and without fovea plana.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of fovea plana in patients with ERM did not exhibit a statistically significant increase compared to the reported incidence in patients undergoing preoperative cataract surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: In our cohort, the incidence of fovea plana in patients with ERM was determined to be 14.3%.

摘要：
背景：中央凹显示内部视网膜未成熟，然而，它与上膜（ERM）的关联仍未被探索。本研究旨在调查诊断为ERM的患者对侧眼中央凹的患病率。
方法：对2021年1月至4月在单中心三级眼科的连续患者进行了回顾性分析。该研究包括所有转诊为ERM的患者，使用密集的光学相干断层扫描（OCT）B扫描来评估对侧眼中央凹平面的发生率。双侧ERM患者被排除在分析之外。
结果：在181名患者中，26在对侧眼中表现出中央凹平面，导致发病率为14.3%。人口特征，OCT模式,有和没有中央凹的患者的手术指征没有显着差异。
结论：与术前白内障手术患者报告的发病率相比，ERM患者中央凹的发病率没有显著增加。
结论：在我们的队列中，ERM患者中央凹的发生率为14.3%.
