Intraocular injection of silicone oil as a tamponade agent is a commonly used technique for the treatment of retinal detachment. An incompletely understood phenomenon which can occur after injection is the migration of silicone oil from the vitreous chamber to the intracranial space. Because the appearance of silicone oil can mimic hemorrhage or other pathologies on CT and MRI, careful comparison with prior studies is necessary to avoid unnecessary follow-up studies. We report a case of intracranial migration of intraocular silicone oil following repetitive head trauma.
眼内注射硅油作为一种填塞剂是治疗视网膜脱离的常用技术。注射后可能出现的一种尚未完全理解的现象是硅油从玻璃体腔迁移至颅内空间。由于硅油在CT和MRI上的表现可能类似于出血或其他病变，因此有必要与先前的研究进行仔细比较，以避免不必要的后续检查。我们报告一例反复头部外伤后眼内硅油颅内迁移的病例。
