Abstract
- Retrobulbar hematoma is a rare complication following septal surgery under general anesthesia. Symptoms and physical findings include temporary blindness, ophthalmoplegia, mydriasis, ptosis, proptosis and eyelid ecchymosis. Recently, we experienced a rare case of the right retrobulbar hematoma after septal surgery. At present, there is no literature about the occurrence of retrobulbar hematoma following septal surgery. We hereby present this case with an emphasis on the importance of prevention, identification and management of retrobulbar hematoma.
