A fifty-two year old bilaterally
pseudophakic Caucasian gentleman having a retinal detachment secondary to two
retinal breaks superotemporally in his right eye underwent twenty-three gauge
pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), endophotocoagulation and perfluoroethane (C2F6)
gas insertion. He presented five weeks later with a total retinal detachment in the same eye presumed consequent to a retinal break infero temporally thought to represent temporal extension of the initial retinal tear beyond the margin of the aforementioned retinopexy. Twenty gauge PPV was performed, cryotherapy was
applied to the retinal break, indirect retinal photocoagulation carried out and
16% perfluoropropane (C3F8) inserted into the vitreous cavity.
