Silicone oil (SO) is a commonly used agent of intraocular endotamponade for treating complicated retinal detachment. We report a case of SO migration into the cerebral ventricles which was initially misdiagnosed as metastatic disease. Misinterpretation of SO as metastatic disease in a patient with a lung nodule triggered admission to a medical intensive care unit and unnecessary evaluation with further imaging and invasive procedures.
硅油(SO)是治疗复杂性视网膜脱离常用的眼内填充剂。我们报告了一例硅油迁移至脑室的病例,该病例最初被误诊为转移性疾病。在一名有肺结节的患者中,将硅油误判为转移性疾病导致其入住医疗重症监护病房,并进行了不必要的进一步影像学检查和侵入性检查评估。
