| Popis: | PURPOSE To demonstrate unique behavior of subretinal perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) following macular reattachment surgery. METHODS An observational case report. Changes in visual functioning and consecutive optical coherence tomograms (OCTs) are described. RESULTS Following macular reattachment surgery with the aid of perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL), a small residual PFCL bubble, measuring 175µm in diameter, is noted beneath the fovea on OCT. During nine months of follow-up the bubble is shown to elongate and migrate towards the vitreous space. Once the bubble reaches the inner retinal surface, it gradually becomes smaller and disappears completely. We observed anatomical restoration of the retinal layers, and maintenance of fair visual acuity (20/32 feet) without scotoma. CONCLUSION This report shows the potential of PFCL to migrate through the retina towards the vitreous. Rather than opt for a second surgery to remove small PFCL bubbles, observation may be clinically appropriate in selected cases. |
