Abstract:
Retrobulbar anesthesia, which is used in many intraocular surgery, is a safe and effective method of local anesthesia. However, it can cause certain disastrous complications such as retrobulbar hemorrhage and the retrobulbar hemorrhage can affect the operation itself and furthermore the result of the operation. In this paper, we present a case of the central retinal artery occlusion without retrobulbar hemorrhage after the retrobulbar anesthesia, and brief review of related literature was presented.
