Abstract
VILAPLANA, D.; POPOSKI, V.; MARTINEZ-PALMER, A. and CASTILLA, M.. Subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid: Two new cases. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2009, vol.84, n.7, pp.363-366. ISSN 0365-6691.
Purpose/methods: Subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid (SPCL) causes vision loss and central scotoma. We present two clinical cases with this complication and we review the 5 clinical cases reported in the literature to analyse their potential prognostic factors. Results/conclusions: SPCL extraction involves an early visual acuity recovery and a central scotoma disappearance. The visual acuity recovery degree does not depend on the patients age, the onset visual acuity or the evolution time when this last one is less than 3 months.
