Antonio Acquaviva, MD
Show Description +
This patient had retained subfoveal droplets after PFCL was used during retinal detachment repair. An ILM peel was performed, followed by a retinotomy adjacent to the inferotemporal vascular arcade using a 41-gauge extendible subretinal injection needle. Through the same retinotomy, the bent 41-gauge needle was advanced into the subretinal space to reach the PFCL bubble. Subsequently, active aspiration of PFCL was performed, followed by short-term postoperative upright head positioning. By the OCT scan, this technique appears to be an effective surgical approach for removing a retained submacular PFCL bubble.
