To our knowledge, this is the first described case of a retained fragment of fluorocarbon gas trapped at the macula following successful retinal detachment repair and highlights a previously unreported cause of an abnormal foveal appearance. However, clinical examination together with the use of SD-OCT is helpful in differentiating the appearance from that seen in other retained vitrectomy adjuncts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000499855","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,14]],"date-time":"2019-06-14T21:01:13Z","timestamp":1560546073000},"page":"200-204","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Trapped Pre-Macular Bubble of Octafluoropropane Gas Masquerading as Retained Submacular Perfluorocarbon Liquid"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Petros","family":"Petrou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5411-0606","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Despoina-Georgia","family":"Kokosiouli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Trushar","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Philip\u00a0J.","family":"Banerjee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ilias","family":"Georgalas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dimitrios","family":"Papakonstantinou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dimitrios","family":"Brouzas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lyndon","family":"DaCruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006982-198606040-00001"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(02)01184-3"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/23258160-20131105-07"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/15428877-20100215-98"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000309603"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10792-007-9136-8"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/IAE.0b013e31820a69c3"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Ophthalmology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/499855","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/499855","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T16:31:49Z","timestamp":1745425909000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000499855"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,14]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000499855","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1663-2699"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1663-2699","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,14]]}}}
