Suprachoroidal Gas: A Rare Complication of Intravitreal Injection of Perfluoropropane

This is a case report of a 75-year-old pseudophakic male, who presented with a massive submacular hemorrhage on a background of neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Intravitreal perfluoropropane was used to attempt pneumatic displacement of the submacular hemorrhage. The next day, subconjun...
