ABSTRACT
CASO CLÍNICO: Presentamos un caso de migración de aceite de silicona a través del nervio óptico, en un paciente diabético con desprendimiento de retina, y revisamos los posibles mecanismos etiológicos y sus implicaciones clínicas. DISCUSIÓN: La migración intracraneal del aceite de silicona es una complicación poco frecuente asociada al uso de este material como método sustitutivo tras la vitrectomía
CLINICAL CASE: We present a case of silicone oil migration trough the optic nerve in a diabetic patient with retinal detachment and review the etiologic mechanism and clinical implications. DISCUSSION: Intracranial silicone oil migration is an uncommon complication associated with silicone oil tamponade
