| Heavy Silicone Oil in the Anterior Chamber | |
| The patient had inferior rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Trans pars plana vitrectomy and heavy silicone oil tamponade (HSO, Densiron-68) was performed. Post operative day 2, the HSO escaped into the anterior chamber and accummulated in the inferior angle. In adddition to fairly large, frosh-egg-like transparent globulus there is a multitude of very small, glistening spheres of the same material. These may become the cause of a late glaucoma as they prevent access to Schlemm's canal. | |
