Abstract

BACKGROUND

Heavy oil formation was found in the subretinal space in three patients with repeated vitreoretinal surgery.

CASES

These patients had received perfluorocarbon liquid (PFL) and silicone oil injection for retinal detachment in a previous surgery.

OBSERVATIONS

A transparent "heavy density" oil bubble was found in the subretinal space in these patients. The heavy oil bubble was eventually removed by manual aspiration with a blunt-tipped 21-gauge needle. The retinas were reattached in all three cases.

CONCLUSIONS

Silicone oil may mix with incompletely removed PFL to form heavy oil. During reoperation for persistent retinal detachment, these substances should be specifically sought and removed.
