[Extraction of subfoveal liquid perfluorocarbon].

Perfluorocarbon liquids (PFCL) are synthetic and transparent compounds with a high specific gravity which are very useful for vitreoretinal surgery. Subretinal injection of PFCL can occur during vitreoretinal surgery. A case report is presented of a patient with retained subretinal perfluoro-N-octane following retinal detachment repair for an ocular penetrating injury.Perfluoro-N-octane was retained in the subfoveal space for ten postoperative...
