Subconjunctival migration of intraocular silicone oil

Shinji Makino

Abstract :

 We report a patient with intraocular silicone oil migration into the subconjunctival space. A 24–year–old man presented with retinal detachment in the right eye. Vitrectomy with injection of silicone oil was performed. Postoperatively, retinal detachment was resolved. Three months after the operation, removal of intraocular silicone oil was performed. Two months after the last operation, multiple elevated round lesions of his right subconjunctival space occurred. We speculated that intraocular silicone oil migrated into subconjunctival space from the vitreous cavity through the scleral wounds. Clinicians should consider the possibility of silicone oil leakage when cases of surgical history with silicone oil injection are encountered
