Extended Endotamponade with Perfluoro-n-Octane in Pediatric Retinal Detachment.

Abstract
The use of perfluoro-n-octane (PFnO) for extended endotamponade in an infant with X-linked retinoschisis and complex tractional retinal detachments associated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) was reported. The patient had undergone multiple vitrectomy surgeries with silicone oil tamponade. After extensive retinectomy, slippage of the retina produced folds that were flattened under extended PFnO tamponade. The retinas of both eyes remained anatomically reattached 11 months after exchange of PFnO for silicone oil.
