Abstract
Perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) is an important adjunct in pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for complex retinal detachment (RD). Complete removal of PFCL is critical to prevent retinal inflammation and cellular toxicity, but removal is not risk-free. We report a case of a new postoperative onset paracentral visual field defect after PPV with PFCL use for treatment of a macula-on RD. We present pre- and postoperative imaging that suggests a likely perioperative iatrogenic cause.
