Ocular findings following intravitreal silicone injection. 1983

L Laroche, and C Pavlakis, and H Saraux, and L Orcel

In three cases of intraocular silicone oil injection in which the histologic picture is observed at different time intervals, emphasis is given to the fact that fibrous tissue formation around silicone vesicles is a rather constant complication and of early occurrence. Thus, we believe that the removal of liquid silicone from the eye should not take place later than two or three months after the injection. In our first reported case, there was an association of silicone oil injection and vitrectomy with retinal detachment procedures and sympathetic ophthalmia. In the absence of evident histologic or clinical proof, we do not consider silicone oil injection itself as having induced the mechanisms of sympathetic ophthalmia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008028 Light Coagulation The coagulation of tissue by an intense beam of light, including laser (LASER COAGULATION). In the eye it is used in the treatment of retinal detachments, retinal holes, aneurysms, hemorrhages, and malignant and benign neoplasms. (Dictionary of Visual Science, 3d ed) Photocoagulation,Coagulation, Light,Coagulations, Light,Light Coagulations,Photocoagulations
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009877 Endophthalmitis Suppurative inflammation of the tissues of the internal structures of the eye frequently associated with an infection. Ophthalmia,Infectious Endophthalmitis,Endophthalmitides,Endophthalmitides, Infectious,Endophthalmitis, Infectious,Infectious Endophthalmitides,Ophthalmias
D012163 Retinal Detachment Separation of the inner layers of the retina (neural retina) from the pigment epithelium. Retinal detachment occurs more commonly in men than in women, in eyes with degenerative myopia, in aging and in aphakia. It may occur after an uncomplicated cataract extraction, but it is seen more often if vitreous humor has been lost during surgery.

D005123 Eye The organ of sight constituting a pair of globular organs made up of a three-layered roughly spherical structure specialized for receiving and responding to light. Eyes

D012826 Silicone Elastomers Polymers of silicone that are formed by crosslinking and treatment with amorphous silica to increase strength. They have properties similar to vulcanized natural rubber, in that they stretch under tension, retract rapidly, and fully recover to their original dimensions upon release. They are used in the encapsulation of surgical membranes and implants. Elastomers, Silicone,Rubber Silicone,Silicone Rubber,Elastosil,Microfil,SE-30,Elastosils,Microfils,SE 30,SE30,Silicone Elastomer
D014822 Vitreous Body The transparent, semigelatinous substance that fills the cavity behind the CRYSTALLINE LENS of the EYE and in front of the RETINA. It is contained in a thin hyaloid membrane and forms about four fifths of the optic globe.
