Purpose To describe a case series including 4 patients undergoing direct transretinal aspiration of subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling after macula-off retinal detachment surgery. Methods Four patients who had undergone vitreoretinal surgery due to primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were further treated because of retained subfoveal PFCL. Direct transretinal aspiration of PFCL through a self-sealing foveal retinotomy was performed in all cases using a 41-G needle placed on the top of the bubble. The ILM was peeled off prior to and after PFCL removal in 2 cases, respectively. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans were obtained preoperatively and postoperatively to assess the status of the macula. Results Subfoveal PFCL was successfully removed in all cases. Two patients had silicone oil tamponade at the time of the second surgery, which was temporarily removed in both cases and then reapplied in one. Best-corrected visual acuity improved in all cases. No postoperative macular hole was observed by OCT. Conclusions Direct transretinal aspiration of subfoveal PFCL with a 41-G cannula combined with conventional ILM peeling is a safe and effective technique to avoid long-term damage to the retinal layers with good functional outcomes. Performing the ILM peeling immediately before or after the PFCL aspiration does not seem to influence anatomic results.

Purpose: To describe the excellent outcome of surgery for bilateral giant retinal tears (GRTs) with better options of endotamponade. Methods: This is a case report of a 62-year-old man who presented with bilateral GRTs and associated retinal detachment. The tear in the right eye was supero-temporal and silicone oil was used as an endotamponade. The tear in the left eye was infero-temporal and perfluorocarbon liquid was used as an endotamponade. Results: The outcome at 6 months after surgery was excellent with visual acuities of 6/6 in both eyes. Conclusion: Improved availability of endotamponade agents allows repair of bilateral GRTs to be done at the same time, with good surgical outcomes.

And Behavior

The use of fillers for cosmetic or therapeutic purposes is very common and it’s increasing daily. Although it’s true that in most cases the results are as expected, the use of these substances is not free from the development of complications, even when it’s performed by highly trained medical physicians. On the other hand, these substances can be used indiscriminately by untrained personnel leading to a serious public health complication known as iatrogenic allogenosis, which leads to problems related to malpractice. Most of the time, professionals are consulted for a second opinion regarding the use of these substances, because use of these substances might be unknown due to the patients denying or forgetting the use of these. The presence of a previous unknown filler in aesthetic areas that require treatment may trigger severe or irreversible reactions, especially if non-absorbable fillers were injected. High resolution ultrasound is an extremely useful diagnostic tool for the identification of fillers. In this paper we will describe the ultrasound appearance of hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, liquid silicone, silicone oil, biopolymers, and Polymethylmethacrylate (PPMA) and then we compare it with it’s reported appearance in previous studies. The injection of the substances was carried out in human cadavers with the intention of gathering ultrasound images as similar to the imaging behavior of these substances in vivo. The obtained images can be used as precise references in the ultrasound evaluation, diagnosis, follow-up and behavior of the filler materials in the benefit of a comprehensive approach in the management of patients.
