Experimental massive periretinal proliferation (MPP) could be obtained by the autotransplantation of the retinal pigment epithelium into the rabbit vitreous cavity. Clinical and histological findings simulated those seen in human MPP. MPP is presumably a cell-mediated phenomenon. Intraocular administration of 1 mg triamcinolone acetetonide at a time of autotransplantation of rabbit fibroblasts gave favorable results in inhibiting intraocular proliferation. Intracular steroid therapy could be an adjunct of successful vitrectomy of intraocular proliferation.
