Purpose: Silicone oil (SO) is often used as an intraocular tamponade in repairs of retinal detachments. It may be associated with complications such as cataract, glaucoma, keratopathy, subretinal migration of oil, fibrous epiretinal and sub retinal proliferations, and oil emulsification. The purpose of this report is to describe a rare phenomenon of intraocular silicone oil migration into the cerebral ventricles, which may later be mistaken for intraventricular hemorrhages on neuroimaging. Methods: Case report with literature review. Results: A patient with a history of retinal detachment repair with intraocular SO presented with headaches. Neuroimaging revealed SO migration to the cerebral ventricles. The patient was treated conservatively with symptom management and headaches resolved. Conclusions: We present a case of intraocular SO migration to the cerebral ventricles and review the current literature. We also propose two mechanisms for this phenomenon.

Intrauterine transfusion is the most common and successful intrauterine procedure for the treatment of fetal anemia due to red cell alloimmunization. Fetal intracranial hemorrhage is a very rare complication of intrauterine transfusion in patients with Rh(D) alloimmunization and it has been demonstrated only in a few case reports in the literature. Herein, we described a case of grade IV intraventricular hemorrhage that was diagnosed following the first intrauterine transfusion and reviewed the literature about the fetal intracranial hemorrhage that occurred after intrauterine intravascular transfusion procedure.

AbstractWe report the case of a 3-week-old neonate who presented with massive subarachnoid and intraventricular hemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery (ACommA). An attempt on endovascular treatment ended up with therapeutic closure of the parent artery. However, since further investigation revealed a disastrous supratentorial cerebral infarction as a result of the hemorrhage, active treatment was terminated and the neonate died a few days after the initial stroke. To the best of our knowledge and after reviewing available literature, this is one of only five cases of ACommA aneurysm in newborns reported to date. Bleeding from an ACommA aneurysm in a neonate thus represents an extreme clinical rarity. There are no available data comparing the efficacy and safety of microsurgical versus endovascular treatment in neonates and small infants, but the latter option may at least reduce the risk associated with open surgery and further blood loss in this age group.
