Perfluoroctano líquido como tamponante vitreorretiniano de curta duração no pós-operatório de portadores de descolamento de retina por ruptura gigante

Abstract

Good results (80%) and improvement of the visual acuity (50%) were observed with the use of intravitreous liquid perfluorocarbon as short-term tamponade in the postoperative period in patients with retinal detachments due to giant tears.

Perfluorodecalin as Medium-Term Tamponade in the Case of Retinal Detachment Recurrence With an Inferior Retinal Break, Which Lies Posteriorly to an Encircling Band

“…Despite toxicity problems, some studies have reported beneficial results using perfluorocarbon liquids as short-term to medium-term tamponade agents in patients with inferior or complex RD, such as those associated with PVR, 3–8 giant retinal tears, 9,10 difficult postoperative positioning, and multiple breaks.…”
