title: [Use of liquid perfluorocarbon in giant tears. Initial results].
abstract: Ten consecutive cases of giant tears with retinal inversion were easily and successfully treated using vitrectomy and silicone oil injection after repositioning the retina with liquid perfluorocarbon. The good initial results show the interest of this technique compared with earlier manipulations of the retina.
