AB  - PURPOSE: To estimate localization and the period up to the appearance of small 
      hyperreflective round-shaped droplets using spectral-domain optical coherence 
      tomography (SD-OCT) after pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade. 
      METHODS: A retrospective observational study included 24 patients who had 
      undergone pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade for proliferative 
      vitreoretinopathy (PVR) retinal detachment. SD-OCT analysis was performed 1, 3, 
      and 6 months after surgery. We characterized the emulsified silicone oil in the 
      SD-OCT as the small hyperreflective round-shaped droplets. RESULTS: In SD-OCT 
      examination, none of the patients had hyperreflective round-shaped droplets 
      visible one month after vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade. The 
      hyperreflective droplets were found three months after surgery-in one patient 
      above the optic nerve and in five patients intraretinally (in the cystoid 
      spaces). Six months after vitrectomy, the hyperreflective round-shaped droplets 
      were still present in the aforementioned patients' eyes and additionally in 3 
      eyes above the optic disc. CONCLUSIONS: Hyperreflective round-shaped droplets 
      were found in a SD-OCT examination 3 months after silicone oil tamponade. The 
      authors suggest that they are most likely the emulsified silicone oil droplets. 
      The authors hypothesize that emulsification and migration of silicone oil begin 
      within 3 months after surgery.
