While the potentially hazardous effects of intraocular perfluorocarbon gases during air travel have been recognized, the equivalent risk of intraocular air tamponade is less known and has, to the best of our knowledge, not been reported yet.
A 52-year-old white female experienced a complete loss of vision and pain in her left eye during air travel following pars plana vitrectomy with air tamponade. Clinical and multimodal imaging findings only a few hours after emergency landing indicated a transient central retinal artery occlusion due to a significant increase in intraocular pressure during the flight.
Air travel, even with a relatively small volume of residual air tamponade, can lead to potentially serious complications.
虽然眼内全氟碳气体在航空旅行期间的潜在有害影响已得到认可，但眼内空气填塞的同等风险鲜为人知，据我们所知，尚未见相关报道。
一名52岁白人女性在接受玻璃体切除联合空气填塞术后乘飞机旅行时，左眼突然失明并疼痛。紧急着陆后仅数小时的临床及多模态影像学检查结果显示， flight飞行期间眼压显著升高导致短暂性视网膜中央动脉阻塞。
航空旅行即使眼内残留空气填塞量相对较少，也可能导致潜在的严重并发症。
