The aim of this article is to report a rare case in which a patient presented symptomatic silicon oil brain migration, documented by MRI, several years after vitreoretinal surgery.
This is a case report with a prospective literature review.

DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS: For several years, silicone oil (SiO) has been widely used as a long-term intravitreal tamponading agent to treat complex retinal detachments. There are rare reports in the literature demonstrating the migration of SiO into the brain. The aim of this article is to report a rare case in which the patient presented severe headaches several years after vitreoretinal surgery, with migrated SiO appearing in MRI as an oval lesion within the horn of the right lateral ventricle. To the best of our knowledge, there are very few reports of symptomatic SiO brain migration in the literature.

讨论/结论:数年来,硅油(SiO)已被广泛用作治疗复杂性视网膜脱离的长期玻璃体内填塞剂。文献中有罕见报道显示SiO会迁移至脑部。本文的目的是报告一例罕见病例,该患者在玻璃体视网膜手术后数年出现严重头痛,MRI显示迁移至脑部的SiO在右侧脑室角内呈椭圆形病灶。据我们所知,文献中关于有症状的SiO脑内迁移的报道极少。
