[Intraocular hyperintense structure in MRI in a female patient with vertigo].
We present the case of a 77-year-old female patient who complained of dizziness. Consequently, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination was performed to rule out an intracranial tumor. The examination revealed an intraocular structure with signal hyperintensity in the left eye. The patient was referred to our clinic to screen for an intraocular tumor. Ophthalmological findings together with the medical history unmasked the "tumor" as residual perfluorodecaline vesicles.
