          Abstract

          Background

          We describe a patient presenting with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) of the right eye after retrobulbar anesthesia with adrenaline for macular pucker surgery.

          Case presentation

          The patient, a 67-year-old Caucasian man, developed a CRAO postoperatively by the next-day control likely due to the retrobulbar injection of a combination of Xylocaine and Bupivacaine with adrenaline as anesthetic.

          Conclusions

          The addition of adrenaline to the standard anesthetic solution could be a risk factor for serious complications, such as CRAO.

          Retrobulbar anesthesia and retinal vascular obstruction.

          R Sergott, Stuart Forman, Thomas C. Flanagan … (1983)
          The cases of three patients who developed combined central retinal artery/vein obstruction secondary to retrobulbar anesthesia are presented. In one case the obstruction was presumably present immediately after surgery, while in the other two it was observed to evolve over a period of several days. A dilated optic nerve sheath was demonstrated by contact B-scan ultrasonography in two cases and by computerized tomography in the third case, suggesting intravaginal sheath hemorrhage as a common underlying pathophysiologic process. Partial return of vision was evident in the latter case following orbitotomy with optic nerve sheath decompression.

            Retinal vascular occlusion after vitrectomy with retrobulbar anesthesia-observational case series and survey of literature.

            Christoph Tappeiner, Justus G Garweg (2011)
            Severe postoperative loss of vision has been occasionally reported as a rare complication of retrobulbar anesthesia, and several possible causes have been proposed in the literature. In this work, our own and other investigators' experiences with these complications are surveyed with a view to identifying its pathophysiology.

              Central retinal artery occlusion after peribulbar anesthesia.

              Albert Vinerovsky, Eitan Rath, Uri Rehany … (2004)
              We describe the development of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) in 2 patients after peribulbar (periconal) anesthesia during uneventful phacoemulsification. Although peribulbar anesthesia avoids direct optic-nerve injury, indirect injury presenting as CRAO may occur from vasospasm in response to the injection.
