title: SERIAL "EN FACE" OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY IMAGING OF SLOWLY RESORBING SUBRETINAL FLUID AFTER PNEUMATIC RETINOPEXY.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the use and utility of serial "en face" C-scan optical coherence tomography in following the postoperative subretinal fluid status in a patient after pneumatic retinopexy treatment of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case study.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Serial "en face" optical coherence tomography imaging enhanced postoperative follow-up of persistent subretinal fluid, demonstrating its spontaneous disappearance over time.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Previous studies showed that subretinal fluid persists in a large proportion of patients after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair (especially in those with a chronic component). "En face" optical coherence tomography imaging is a valuable tool for demonstrating postoperative fluid status and aids in the ability of the practitioner to evaluate for spontaneous disappearance of fluid with time.
