- Pseudocolor fundus photograph of a 68-year-old man who presented with a macula-on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with a single horseshoe tear at 12 o'clock. Pneumatic retinopexy was performed with cryopexy to the retinal break. He returned to clinic three days later and the entire SF6 gas bubble was noted to have migrated to the subretinal space through the retinal break. Pars plana vitrectomy was performed that day with retinal reattachment and improvement in vision to 20/40 now 6 months postoperatively.
