摘要
To evaluate the use of perfluoroethyl-cyclohexane (PFE) liquid during vitreoretinal surgery, retinal tolerance was tested by electroretinographic (ERG) and histologic study of rabbit eyes undergoing intravitreal placement of PFE for 48 hours. When PFE occupied the vitreous cavity, ERG amplitudes were decreased, probably because of electrical insulation by the liquid. Immediately after removal of the liquid, elevations of a and b waves occurred. Further improvements in the waveforms were recorded when tested between 5 days and 2 months after PFE removal, such that the eyes injected with PFE exhibited ERG amplitudes comparable to contralateral control eyes and preoperative eyes. Histologic examination of the eyes 2 months after PFE removal also revealed normal morphologic features. Small residual amounts of PFE produced no adverse histologic changes after 6 months. When PFE remained intravitreally for longer than 1 week, dispersion of the liquid and preretinal accumulation of macrophages occurred, and in inferior retina, distortions of photoreceptor outer segments and narrowing of outer plexiform layer were observed in the rabbit model.
