Table 1 Summary of the case
From: Intracranial silicone oil migration with encephalopathy: a rare case report
Patient (age, gender) | 1 | 50-year old, male |
Final diagnosis | 2 | Intracranial silicone oil migration with silicone oil-induced encephalopathy |
Symptoms | 3 | Abnormal behaviour, decreased responsiveness |
Past history | 4 | Type 2 diabetes, proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) |
Past surgical history | 5 | Laser for PDR in right eye Vitrectomy and silicone oil implantation for vitreal haemorrhage and retinal detachment |
Clinical procedure | 6 | Plain CT head, USG orbits, MRI Brain |
Specialty | 7 | Radiology |
Objective | 8 | To show one of the rare complication of the pathology |
Background | 9 | Intracranial migration of silicon oil can cause encephalopathy |
Case report | 10 | Intracranial silicone oil migration with encephalopathy: A rare case report |
Conclusions | 11 | History of intraocular SiO implantation should be elicited in any case of non-dependant intracranial hyperdense lesions in CT. MRI of the brain will help to differentiate it from haemorrhage or tumour |
MeSH Keywords | 12 | Silicone oil, intraocular, intraventricular, intracranial migration, encephalopathy, case report |
