Perfluorocarbon heavy liquids in the management of posterior dislocation of the lens nucleus during phakoemulsification.

چکیده
We report a case in which the lens nucleus dislocated into the vitreous cavity through a posterior capsular rupture during phakoemulsification. We performed a vitrectomy and removed the lens nucleus using the perfluorocarbon heavy liquid perfluoro-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane. The management of posterior dislocation of the lens nucleus during cataract surgery is discussed.

BACKGROUND Perfluorocarbon liquids are frequently used as intraoperative tools in vitreoretinal surgery and may occasionally be retained in the vitreous cavity. We report a patient who underwent pars plana vitrectomy for a giant tear after receiving blunt trauma to his right eye and sustained postoperative perfluorocarbon liquid residue in the anterior chamber in spite of an intact crystalline ...

The objective was to describe a new surgical technique to manage a posteriorly dislocated crystalline lens. Four patients with posteriorly dislocated lenses were studied. Two patients had dislocated lenses secondary to trauma, 1 had undergone retinal detachment surgery, and 1 had an idiopathic lens dislocation. Pars plana vitrectomy was carried out on all 4 eyes, followed by an injection of per...

متن کاملTreatment of a dislocated lens by transcorneal vitrectomy and bimanual phacoemulsification
BACKGROUND As a method of treatment for a dropped lens nucleus, which occurred during cataract surgery, the dropped lens nucleus was removed through the corneal wound without using pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). After vitrectomy, the dropped lens nucleus was floated on the perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL). The floating lens nucleus was then phacoemulsified and aspirated. During surgery, irrigation f...
