Abstract
Perfluorodecalin liquid is used as a temporary
intraoperative intraocular tamponade in
vitreo-retinal surgeries. In this study, 65 and
71-years-old two cases underwent pars plana
vitrectomy surgeries with the diagnosis of
rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and perfluorodecalin
liquid was used as a temporary
intraocular tamponade for both of the patients.
Both patients were pseudophakic and posterior
capsules were intact. Perfluorodecalin residues
were detected in the anterior chamber in
the first week postoperatively for the first case
and in the first month for the second case. The
perfluorodecalin liquid residues were removed
by performing anterior chamber irrigation 2
weeks after the surgery for the first case and
7 months after the surgey for the second case.
Corneas were clear and there was not any corneal
toxicity findings for both cases before and
after the anterior chamber irrigation.

Abstract
geçici göz içi tamponatı olarak kullanılır. Bu
çalışmada sunulan 65 ve 71 yaşındaki iki olguya,
regmatojen retina dekolmanı tanısı ile pars
plana vitrektomi ameliyatı yapılmış ve her iki
hastada da perflorodekalin sıvısı geçici göz içi
tamponatı olarak kullanılmıştır. Her iki olgununda
ameliyat öncesinde psödofakik olduğu
görülmüş ve arka kapsülün sağlam olduğu saptanmıştır.
İlk olguda birinci hafta da, ikinci olguda
birinci ayda ön kamarada perflorodekalin
kalıntısı saptanmıştır. İlk olguda ameliyattan 2
hafta sonra, ikinci olguda ise 7 ay sonra ön kamara
lavajı yapılarak perflorodekalin bakiyesi
uzaklaştırılmıştır. İki olguda da ön kamara lavajı
öncesi ve sonrasında kornea saydam olarak değerlendirilmiş
ve herhangi bir korneal toksisite
bulgusu saptanmamıştır.
