Post-traumatic intracranial migration of silicone oil mimicking intraventricular haemorrhage

Key Points

• The aim is to illustrate the rare occurrence of silicone oil migration after ocular trauma.
• Case report on a male patient with blunt ocular trauma and subsequent surgeries.
• Detailed medical history and imaging studies were performed to assess complications.
• Surgical interventions included pars plana lensectomy and vitreoretinal surgery.
• The silicone oil migrated intracranially, closely resembling intraventricular hemorrhage on imaging.
• Imaging techniques showed the silicone oil presence despite initial misdiagnosis.
• The patient's history of ocular surgeries correlates with the occurrence of the complication.
