Correlation of spectral domain optical coherence tomography findings in sub-silicone oil foveal depression space and visual outcome in eyes undergoing silicone oil removal
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: To describe small hyper-reflective spherical bodies in sub-silicone oil-foveal depression (SSO-FD) space using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and its effect on visual outcomes in eyes undergoing silicone oil removal (SOR). METHODS: This was a prospective in...

description | BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: To describe small hyper-reflective spherical bodies in sub-silicone oil-foveal depression (SSO-FD) space using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and its effect on visual outcomes in eyes undergoing silicone oil removal (SOR). METHODS: This was a prospective interventional comparative study comprising 42 eyes undergoing SOR with clear media. All patients underwent detailed clinical examination and SD-OCT scan of fovea pre-operatively and at 30 days and 90 days postoperatively. Patients were divided into Group A (n = 21) and Group B (n = 21) depending on presence or absence, respectively, of small hyper-reflective spherical bodies in the SSO-FD space in preoperative scans. The findings between SD-OCT and best-corrected visual acuity were correlated and analyzed. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 41.9 years (range, 23–60 years) in Group A and 45.6 years (range, 23–60 years) in Group B. Twenty-one eyes showed small hyper-reflective spherical bodies on SD-OCT imaging. These were thought to represent emulsified silicone oil globules trapped in the potential space created by silicone oil meniscus and foveal pit, which is the SSO-FD space. These bodies were absent in all post SOR scans of Group A and Group B. Group A had significant visual improvement (p = 0.0001) after SOR with clearance of these hyper-reflective bodies as compared to Group B(p = 0.356). CONCLUSION: We conclude that these small hyper-reflective spherical bodies in the SSO-FD space were most likely emulsified silicone oil globules and correlated with significant visual improvement with their clearance after silicone oil removal. |
