Pneumatic retinopexy is a promising new alternative technique to scleral buckling for the treatment of selected cases of retinal detachment. We describe two cases, however, in which intravitreal gas injection caused further extension of the retinal detachment that in one case led to new macular detachment. This complication of pneumatic retinopexy has not been reported before, to our knowledge, and it may represent a significant limitation to the technique.
气体视网膜固定术是一种有前景的新型替代技术，可用于治疗部分视网膜脱离病例，替代巩膜扣带术。然而，我们描述了两例病例，其中玻璃体腔内注射气体导致视网膜脱离进一步扩展，在一例中导致新的黄斑脱离。据我们所知，气体视网膜固定术的这种并发症此前尚未见报道，它可能是该技术的一个重大局限。
