servatively. Follow-up at 4 months showed spontaneous resolution of the subretinal fluid on optical coherence tomography (Figure 1C); visual acuity had returned to 6/60 OS but the macular hole remained open. Four months later, the patient’s vision remained stable but the subretinal fluid had returned. An inverse pseudohypopyon was visible at the macula (Figure 2), and optical coherence tomography now demonstrated the presence of droplet-like particles suggestive of emulsified silicone oil (Figure 1D). The patient declined further intervention. Posturing did not appear to affect the distribution of the oil.
