Orbital Silicone Migration Following Pars Plana Vitrectomy With Perfluorocarbon Liquid Silicone Oil Exchange and Endolaser Retinopexy in a Dog

Key Points

• Examining the occurrence of orbital silicone migration in a dog post-surgery for retinal reattachment.
• Documented the clinical case of a dog undergoing pars plana vitrectomy.
• Performed silicone oil exchange with perfluorocarbon liquid.
• Conducted endolaser retinopexy as part of the surgical procedure.
• Identified orbital silicone migration as a complication post-operatively.
• Proposed multiple potential causes for migration, including scleral ectasia and incomplete closure of port sites.
• Highlighted the role of postoperative inflammation in the condition.
