Perforation of the globe--a complication of peribulbar anaesthesia.
Peribulbar anaesthesia has been recommended as a safer alternative to retrobulbar anaesthesia. We report a case of perforation of the globe sustained during peribulbar anaesthesia which resulted in blindness. Orbital injections are potentially dangerous, be they peribulbar or retrobulbar. To minimise the risk, short, blunt needles are advocated for the peribulbar route.
متن کاملChoroidal neovascularization after globe penetration by peribulbar anesthesia.
standard assays for such antibodies, no standardized criteria for distinguishing positive from negative results, and no data on sensitivity and specificity of these assays based on clinical criteria for a causal relationship. Although causality assessment methods in pharmacology remain a matter of debate, in our patient acetazolamide caused pure and severe thrombocytopenia with “certain” eviden...
متن کاملIntraocular anesthetic following peribulbar anesthesia.
The incidence of globe perforation following peribulbar anesthesia is rare, occurring in 0.006% of the cases in a recent series. The incidence of intraocular anesthetic injection is also rare; only 4 cases have been reported in the Englishlanguage literature. We report a case of an intraocular injection of a combination of bupivacaine hydrochloride and mepivacaine hydrochloride following globe ...
متن کاملcomparison of low volume transconjunctival anterior peribulbar anesthesia with transcutaneous posterior peribulbar anesthesia
purpose: to compare low volume transconjunctival anterior peribulbar anesthesia with transcutaneous posterior peribulbar anesthesia in phacoemulsification. methods: patients scheduled for phacoemulsification were randomly divided into two groups: in first group 5ml of 2% lidocaine was injected transcutaneously in the posterior orbital space. in the second group, 2ml of 5% lidocaine was injected...
متن کاملAltered globe dimensions of axial myopia as risk factors for penetrating ocular injury during peribulbar anaesthesia.
We measured the range of equatorial horizontal widths (EHW) in axially myopic eyes and identified the sites of staphyloma using B scan echography. One hundred eyes in 50 patients were studied. The axial lengths (ALs) were sorted into five groups of increasing severity of myopia. The group mean AL, group mean EHW and the ratio of EHW/AL was calculated for each range. The results suggest that the...
