Upside Down Hypopyon

Clinical Image

We report the case of an inverted hypopyon following a rhegmatogenic retinal detachment surgery, in a 50-year-old patient, benefiting from a vitrectomy with tamponade in silicone oil Slit lamp examination revealed a "reverse hypopyon" in the right eye, which was in fact emulsified silicone oil that had migrated from the posterior chamber into the anterior chamber accumulating in a superior manner (Figure 1).
