No Severe Adverse Effects from Intravitreally Injected Putative Adipose Tissue-Derived Stem Cells

Figure 1

(a) Dense vitreal opacities are seen 2 months after intravitreal injection of adipose tissue-derived stem cells in the right eye. This condition remained unchanged during an 18-month observation period until vitrectomy was performed. (b) During vitrectomy, the dense opacities were seen localized to the vitreous body; no retinal integration or reaction was evident. (c) Two months after vitrectomy, the eye remained silent with unchanged epiretinal remnants from the adherent hyaloid. The left eye had similar findings before, during, and after vitrectomy.
