          Abstract

          Introduction: To report a case in which intraocular silicone oil migrated into the upper eyelid and caused ptosis. Methods: A 65-year-old woman presented with proliferative vitreoretinopathy in the right eye. Vitrectomies, injection of silicone oil and encircling were performed. Two months after the last operation, swelling of her right eyelid occurred. Result: Magnetic resonance imaging revealed moisture in the palpebral fat tissue. We incised the bulbar conjunctiva and confirmed silicone oil leakage from the vitreous cavity through the scleral button hole of the encircling suture. Postoperatively, the right upper eyelid swelling decreased. Histopathologically, dense macrophage infiltration was seen in the palpebral tissues. Conclusions: We report a rare case with a postoperative complication caused by silicone oil. In cases with swelling of the eyelid and decreased silicon oil in the vitreous cavity postoperatively, clinicians should consider the possibility of silicone oil leakage.

              Subconjunctival silicone oil drainage through the Molteno implant.

              S Hyung, J P Min (1998)
              To describe silicone oil drainage from the vitreous cavity to the subconjunctival space through a Molteno implant. A 52-year-old aphakic man with a Molteno implant inserted after lensectomy, vitrectomy and intravitreal silicone oil injection visited our hospital. The Molteno tube was located in the anterior chamber with two silicone oil drops on it. Corneal dellen, induced by marked bleb-like elevation of the conjunctiva was noted during follow-up and excision biopsy was attempted. The conjunctival elevation consisted of innumerable microdrops of silicone oil enclosed by inflammatory subconjunctival tissue. Silicone oil as well as aqueous humor had drained through the Molteno implant and glaucoma implant surgery may thus not be appropriate for the control of intraocular pressure of aphakia by intravitreal silicone oil before removal of oil.
