Weber-Christian disease (WCD) is a rare inflammatory disease of adipose tissue, which is characterized by painful cutaneous nodules and constitutional symptoms. Although any area of the body containing fat can be affected by WCD, the involvement of retrobulbar fat is uncommon and proptosis is a rare presenting manifestation. We report a case who presented with proptosis of the right eye which i...

Under general anaesthesia the eye position of esotropia generally moved divergently. When retrobulbar anaesthesia was added bilaterally, the eye position moved further in the same direction. In the electromyogram under general anaesthesia the 4 horizontal recti were silent in controls. In many cases of esotropia, however, both medial recti showed a considerable amount of discharge under general...

CASE REPORT We report a rare complication of retrobulbar anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery-amarurosis and extraocular muscle palsies in the contralateral eye. Our patient did not suffer permanent sequelae from the injection. DISCUSSION Numerous complications resulting from retrobulbar injections in the eye and orbit have been reported. One possible explanation of this case is the inadvertent p...

Regional anaesthesia in eye surgery can lead to life-threatening complications such retrobulbar haemorrhage, local anaesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST), due to intra-arterial injection, and brain stem anaesthesia (BSA). Intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) has been shown to reverse cardiac arrest induced by LAST but there are also reports that suggest its role in reversing neurological complication...

Granular cell myoblastoma is a relatively uncommon lesion of debatable histogenesis, appearing as a small, solitary (but occasionally multiple) neoplasm and usually taking a benign course. The malignant counterpart has rarely been observed examples have also been found in virtually every organ or tissue of the body (Strong and others, I970), but only rarely in the orbit. Von Bahr (I938) reporte...
