Fundus photograph of a pneumatic retinopexy. The upper photo taken just 30 minutes after C3F8 gas injection shows rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with superior temporal horseshoe tear and gas bubbles resembling fish-eggs. After two days with appropriated head position (botton photo), the retina is attached and laser photocoagulation was performed on the border of the break. A Single great gas bubble was formed.
