case_images: Intraoperative color picture of the posterior pole after core vitrectomy and posterior vitreous detachment inducement. (A) Right eye. Note: sub-ILM golden crescent-shaped deposits consisting of small crystals anterior to the inferior temporal vascular arcade, a "ring" sign secondary to detached ILM and ILM striae. (B) Left eye. Note: the similar sub-ILM crescent-shaped deposits with macular involvement and a "ring" sign.

case_images: After the removal of organized vitreous hemorrhage, the posterior pole was visualized, and golden crescent-shaped deposits consisting of small crystals were observed under the ILM: in the right eye anterior to the inferior temporal vascular arcade with the formation of fine ILM striae posterior to the inferior temporal vascular arcade and no foveal involvement (Figure 1(A)) and in the left eye posterior to the inferior temporal vascular arcade with no ILM striae formation(Figure 1(B)).
case_images: Intraoperative color picture of the left eye during ILM peeling after staining with ILM-blue dye (A, B). Note: the characteristic reflectivity of the golden crystals (C, D) which were firmly attached to ILM and retina.

case_images: Due to macular involvement in the left eye, an ILM peeling was performed (staining with ILM-blue dye for 60 seconds, DORC, Dutch Ophthalmic Research Center, International B.V., Zuidland, Netherlands) with sediment removal (Figures 2(A)-2(D)).
case_images: Optical coherence tomography one year after the surgery. Note: epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation with no foveal contour disturbance in the right eye (A) and irregularities of the inner retina in the left eye (B); outer retinal layers were preserved in both eyes.

case_images: On the examination one year after the surgery, visual acuity in the right eye was 6/8.5 and 6/6 in the left eye, and optical coherence tomography showed epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation with no foveal contour disturbance in the right eye (Figure 3(A)) and irregularities of the inner retina with no clear ERM formation in the left eye (Figure 3(B)).
