purpose : to report a case of total blindness a few hours after orbital blowout fracture repair the visual acuity (va) returned to normal after immediate reoperation. case report : a 21-year-old man with obvious enophthalmos in the left side, 2 weeks after car accident, was candidate for orbital floor reconstruction surgery. anterior orbitotomy from subcilliary incision was done and at the end ...

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.

Purpose To report the detection of retrobulbar blood vessel in the optical coherence tomography angiographic (OCTA) images of two eyes with pathologic myopia. Observations Two eyes of 2 cases with pathologic myopia were examined by OCTA (RTVue XR Avanti, Optovue, and Cirrus 5000, Zeiss). Case 1 was a 64-year-old man, and Case 2 was a 65-year-old woman. In Case 1, the thickness of the subfovea...

Traumatic retrobulbar hemorrhage may result in acute loss of vision that is reversible when recognized and treated promptly. A case of traumatic retrobulbar hemorrhage is presented. The technique of emergent orbital decompression by lateral canthotomy and cantholysis is described. The anatomy of the lateral canthus and the surgical procedure are illustrated by gross dissection.
