Abstract

Background: The origin of subretinal fluid in eyes with optic pit remains controversial.

Methods: Case report.

Results: The authors found that silicone oil, implanted into an eye that developed proliferative vitreoretinopathy after surgery for optic pit-related macular detachment, has migrated into the subarachnoid space.

Conclusions: As this case shows, cerebrospinal fluid may migrate into the submacular space in eyes with optic pits.
