Abstract
- Silicone oil is used as an intravitreal injection to treat retinal detachment. This material can spread into the subarachnoid space, where it may be mistaken for acute hemorrhage on single-energy computed tomography. This report describes the appearance of intravitreal silicone oil on dual-energy computed tomography, emphasizing unique virtual monoenergetic imaging characteristics that allow for confident differentiation of silicone oil from hemorrhage as well as from other potential single-energy mimics, such as calcium and iodine.
