Abstract

Twenty-eight patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were treated by
pneumatic retinopexy using intravitreal perfluorpropane (C3F8) gas. Reattachment
was successfully achieved in 22 eyes (78.6%) after one treatment. Most of the eyes were
myopic and had a single retinal break or group of breaks within one o’clock hour. All retinal
complications developed in the inferior retinal quadrants with postoperative proliferative
vitreoretinopathy (PVR) as one of the most serious complications, occurring in
3 (10.7%) eyes. New retinal breaks developed in 2 (7.1%) eyes.
