Abstract
- Retrobulbar hematoma is one of the major complications following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Symptoms and physical findings include temporary blindness, ophthalmoplegia, mydriasis, ptosis, proptosis and eyelid ecchymosis. Recently, we experienced a rare case of the left Horner's syndrome with compressive optic neuropathy resulting from bilateral delayed retrobulbar hematoma after ESS. There is no literature about the Horner's syndrome as a complication of ESS at present. We hereby present this case with an emphasis on the importance of prevention, identification and management of retrobulbar hematoma.
