Several patients with these implants were studied recently by computed tomography. The characteristic computed tomographic appearances of these implants are discussed.

Preliminary Study on Retinal Vascular and Oxygen-related Changes after Long-term Silicone Oil and Foldable Capsular Vitreous Body Tamponade

Silicone oil has been the only long-term vitreous substitute used in the treatment of retinal detachment since 1962 by Cibis. Nevertheless, its effects on retinal vascular morphology and oxygen supply to the retina are ambiguous in current research. We previously invented a foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) to use as a new vitreous substitute in the treatment of severe retinal detachment, ...

Except for orbital soft-tissue swelling due to recent surgery or infection, CT scans obtained with both the implant and prosthesis in place showed relative symmetry of the postoperative side and the native globe. Benign air collections were often associated with either the implant or prost...

Systemic granulomatosis after surgical injection of silicone oil for retinal detachment in a child affected by Fisher-Evans syndrome.

UNLABELLED Silicone oil is used for complicated retinal detachment, but it can be associated with relevant side effects. We report a 6-year-old South American female admitted to our hospital with steroid-resistant Fisher-Evans syndrome. She also had developed a retinal detachment, managed with intravitreal oil injection. During treatment for Fisher-Evans syndrome, she progressively developed re...
