(A) Preoperative fundus photograph (left) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) image (right) showing a subretinal perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) bubble located under the papillo-macular bundle, due to a complication of retinal detachment (RD) surgery. (B) Fundus photograph (left) and OCT image (right) 2 weeks post-therapeutic inferotemporal RD induced by balanced salt solution injection, confirming displacement of the subretinal PFCL bubble with atrophy at the papillo-macular bundle.

The dilated fundus examination (DFE) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed a subretinal PFCL bubble located under the papillo-macular bundle (see Figure 1A). OCT confirmed displacement of the PFCL bubble with atrophy at the papillo-macular bundle (see Figure 1B). Of note, we expected to locate the subretinal PFCL bubble in the inferior retinal periphery and treat it with argon laser barricade.
Intraoperative photographs. Before (A) and after (B) subretinal balanced salt solution (BSS) injection using a 41-gauge De Juan cannula. Subretinal BSS created a serous retinal detachment that formed a pocket right under the inferotemporal arcade, which spread to reach the perfluorocarbon liquid bubble.

Retinotomies were made near the inferotemporal arcade on the nasal side and inferiorly (see Figure 2A) with a 41-gauge De Juan cannula and balanced salt solution (BSS) was injected subretinally. The injected subretinal BSS created a serous RD that formed a pocket right under the inferotemporal arcade, which spread to reach the PFCL bubble (see Figure 2B).
