title: [Use of perfluoro-octane liquid in the treatment of giant tears with inversion of the retina: preliminary results].
abstract: Five consecutive cases of giant tears with retinal inversion were easily and successfully treated using vitrectomy and silicone oil injection after repositioning of the retina with perfluoro-octane. The good initial results show the interest of this technique compared with the incarcerations or with the manipulation of the retina and of the perfluoro-octane compared with the other liquid perfluorocarbons.
