  • submacular perfluorocarbon liquid

    Sep 7 2022 by JEFFERSON R SOUSA, Tecg.º (Biomedical Systems Technology)

    A 63-year-old male patient underwent vitreoretinal surgery with the use of perfluorocarbon. From a technological point of view, extended-field retinography presents many points of focus variation due to the difficulty of establishing a diffuse focus, as it is a recent post-operative case. In OCT Fundus Enface, although it has a low resolution, it is extremely important for documenting the presence of perfluor. Best seen in structural OCT.

  • Submacular PFO

    Feb 20 2020 by Kevin J. Blinder, MD, FASRS

    This is a 53-year-old gentleman that was referred to us for a second opinion with an inoperable RD with PVR after 3 failed attempts. We performed a PPV, membranectomy, scleral buckling procedure, with silicone oil injection. This case did not require PFO. You can imagine our surprise when we discovered submacular PFO postoperatively. It is very difficult to see the PFO on the Optos. The infrared shows it clearly, with confirmation of the submacular space on the SD-OCT.

  • Retinal Detachment with PVR (s/ SPR, PPV, MPV, 360 Retinectomy, PFO, PI, FAx, SO)

    Aug 22 2019 by Merrick Avila

    Ultra-wide field pseudocolor fundus photograph of a 64-year-old female with a treated retinal detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy. Patient has a history of complex retinal detachments that have been treated multiple times. On exam 8-22-19, there were large macular holes with LP vision. There was a long discussion about guarded nature of her condition and goals or trial for repair including globe sparing prevention of phthisis.
