Retinal detachment is an eye disorder that, if not treated, can lead to blindness. One of the treatment options is removing all or part of vitreous humor from the vitreous cavity and filling it with a gas bubble. The gas bubble eventually reabsorbs over a few weeks into the systemic circulation.

Purpose: This work reports on the management of a large subretinal gas bubble after pneumatic retinopexy. Methods: A case report is discussed. Results: We report a case of subretinal gas after pneumatic retinopexy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment that was managed with a series of head-positioning maneuvers to allow the subretinal gas to migrate into the vitreous cavity through the retinal break. Despite the subretinal bubbles being larger than the retinal break, this approach eliminated the subretinal gas and averted surgical intervention. Conclusions: Subretinal gas after pneumatic retinopexy can be successfully managed by head-positioning maneuvers in some cases, even if the subretinal gas bubble is larger than the retinal break.

ABSTRACTImplants are essential for the repair of retinal detachments. The implant buckles the wall of the eye and apposes the detached retina with the choroid, thus restoring light sensitivity to the retina. The scleral buckling also relieves traction on the retina from a shrinking vitreous body. The implant materials most commonly used are solid silicone rubber and silicone sponges, but both types have some disadvantages. A poly(hydroxyethyl acrylate-co-methyl acrylate) hydrogel implant with improved properties of softness and antibiotic absorption is also available for retinal detachment surgery. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy involves various conditions of retinal detachment complicated by vitreous fibrosis, which, after vitrectomy, may be treated with intraocular injection of fluids that support the retina against the choroid. For conditions requiring a long-term implant, silicone oil although controversial is the material of choice. Many other substances have been investigated but none better has yet been found.
