(A) Colour fundus photograph of right eye shows a subtotal rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with a horizontally oriented subretinal band bifurcating the macula; (B) colour fundus photograph taken at postoperative 1 week reveals an attached retina with severed and retracted whitish subretinal band under silicon oil along with three subretinal well defined dome shaped refractile golden yellow-coloured bubbles, the larger one sitting sub-foveally suggestive of a retained PFCL, features being more prominent in red-free imaging (C); (D) swept source optical coherence tomography horizontal scan passing through fovea shows a dome-shaped hyporeflective space at the fovea with subtle underlying RPE and choroid hyperreflectivity. PFCL, perfluorocarbon liquid.
