Complications of Pneumatic Retinopexy

Twenty-eight patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were treated by pneumatic retinopexy using intravitreal perfluorpropane (C3F8) gas. Reattachment was successfully achieved in 22 eyes (78.6%) after one treatment. Most of the eyes were myopic and had a single retinal break or group of breaks within one o’clock hour. All retinal complications developed in the inferior retinal quadrants with postoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) as one of the most serious complications, occurring in 3 (10.7%) eyes. New retinal breaks developed in 2 (7.1%) eyes.
