Toxic posterior segment syndrome caused by silicone oil tamponade resulting in postsurgical retinal vascular occlusion: a case report
Purpose
We aimed to report a rare case of postoperative retinal vessel occlusion caused by silicone oil.
Observations
A 71-year-old male patient presented with decreased visual acuity and was diagnosed with macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD). The patient underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and was administered a silicone oil injection. The day after surgery, although inflammation and hyperemia within the anterior chamber were mild, fundus examination revealed evidence of retinal blood vessel occlusion. The patient was assumed to have contracted bacterial endophthalmitis and underwent PPV again, wherein the silicone oil was removed followed by antibiotic administration and steroid eye drops initiation. The inflammation improved 2 weeks after surgery; the patient underwent a second operation for MHRD and was administered a silicone oil injection. However, the same vascular occlusion findings were observed the day after surgery. Vascular occlusion was thought to be due to sterile inflammation rather than bacterial endophthalmitis; the inflammatory findings subsided after silicone oil removal.
Conclusions
In cases of retinal vascular occlusion occurring early after silicone oil injection, if the anterior segment inflammation is mild, the possibility of toxic posterior segment syndrome must be considered.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports is a peer-reviewed, scientific publication that welcomes the submission of original, previously unpublished case report manuscripts directed to ophthalmologists and visual science specialists. The cases shall be challenging and stimulating but shall also be presented in an educational format to engage the readers as if they are working alongside with the caring clinician scientists to manage the patients. Submissions shall be clear, concise, and well-documented reports. Brief reports and case series submissions on specific themes are also very welcome.
