Subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid removal by peeling of internal limiting membrane, without retinotomy

Subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid removal by peeling of internal limiting membrane, without retinotomy

ABSTRACT Perfluorocarbon liquid has been widely used during vitreoretinal operations. Subretinal retention is a rare intraoperative complication, but even small quantities can damage the macular structure and function, and no standard treatment has been established. We encountered a 43-year-old woman who presented a retained subfoveal bubble after a vitreoretinal operation due to primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Herein, we describe the procedure we used to remove the perfluorocarbon liquid without retinotomy using internal limiting membrane peeling.
