To demonstrate the presence of emulsified silicone oil (SO) droplets in the canal of Schlemm with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
AS-OCT images from an eye that had undergone retinal detachment (RD) surgery three years ago were reviewed. At the time of surgery, SO had been used as the tamponading agent.
The AS-OCT images demonstrated that minute emulsified SO droplets were present in the canal of Schlemm.
Retention of SO in the eye for an extended period of time after RD surgery leads to secondary glaucoma. Presence of minute emulsified SO droplets in the canal of Schlemm may contribute to this process.
通过眼前节光学相干断层扫描(AS-OCT)证明施莱姆管内存在乳化硅油(SO)液滴。
回顾了一只三年前接受过视网膜脱离(RD)手术的眼睛的AS-OCT图像。手术时,SO被用作填塞剂。
AS-OCT图像显示施莱姆管内存在微小的乳化SO液滴。
RD手术后SO在眼内长时间留存会导致继发性青光眼。施莱姆管内微小乳化SO液滴的存在可能促成这一过程。
