CLINICAL CASE: A case of surgical removal of a subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) bubble that remained trapped inside the subretinal space. PFCL bubble extraction was performed by performing a therapeutic and vacuum PFCL bubble macular retinal detachment. DISCUSSION: The elapsed time before subfoveal PFCL extraction seems to influence the visual result. There are other factors which could influence the final visual acuity significantly, nevertheless it is possible to achieve useful vision, as long as the fovea is not damaged and iatrogenic injuries are avoided during PFCL bubble extraction.

Visual loss in birdshot retinochoroidopathy has been reported to be produced by cystoid macular edema, optic atrophy, epiretinal macular membranes and subretinal neovascularization. We present a patient with this syndrome in whom the visual loss was due to an acute anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. The possible common pathogenesis of both diseases is discussed.

A 39 year old woman presented a sudden loss of vision in her right eye due to a sero-hemorrhagic retinal detachment associated to bilateral papilledema. A bilateral juxtapapillary subretinal neovascularization was observed on fluorescein angiography. Neurologic examination was normal except for intracranial pressure that was 22 mmHg. Lowering of the intracranial pressure with acetazolamide and prednisone resulted in a rapid improvement of visual acuity, with resorption of the hemorrhages and involution of the subretinal membranes.
