Abstract
The vitrectomy and silicone oil injection has been used occasionally for the advertent retinal detachment, but the silicone oil placement within the vitreous cavity may cause the complications in such as band keratopathy, emulsification of silicone oil, iritis and glaucoma, etc. Especially, in the phakic eyes, the silicone oil may enter the anterior chamber in the form of a suspension of fine globules resembling an inverted hypopyon and it is called the hyperoleon. The authors observed a case of hyperoleon 4 months after surgery, reporting it with the review of literatures.
Key Words: Emulsification;Hyperoleon;Silicone oil
