title: DOUBLE PSEUDOHYPOPYON FROM EMULSIFIED HEAVY SILICONE OIL.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a patient with double pseudohypopyon from emulsification of heavy silicone oil.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 65-year-old woman with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and a large inferior break underwent pars plana vitrectomy and heavy silicone oil (Oxane HD; Bausch and Lomb, Toulouse, France) tamponade. Eighteen months later, she returned for follow-up examination.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Slit-lamp examination revealed accumulation of emulsified silicone oil in both the inferior and superior portions of the anterior chamber leading to a "double pseudohypopyon" appearance.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case highlights the possibility of decomposition of the Oxane HD silicone oil with time creating an inverted pseudohypopyon from emulsification of light silicone oil in addition to a pseudohypopyon from heavy oil emulsification.
