RESUMO
CASO CLÍNICO: Presentamos un caso de extracción quirúrgica de una burbuja de perfluorocarbono líquido (PFCL) subfoveal, mediante la producción de un desprendimiento retiniano macular terapéutico y aspirado de la burbuja de PFCL. DISCUSIÓN: El tiempo transcurrido hasta la extracción del PFCL subfoveal parece tener influencia sobre el resultado visual. Existen otros factores que pueden influir de manera importante en la agudeza visual final, a pesar de los cuales es posible conseguir una visión útil, siempre y cuando no se dañe la fóvea, y se eviten lesiones iatrogénicas durante la extracción de la burbuja de PFCL
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
