Bilateral Postoperative Blindness and Ophthalmoplegia After Cardiac Surgery
2019, Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular AnesthesiaExtraocular Pressure Measurements to Avoid Orbital Compartment Syndrome in Aneurysm Surgery
2018, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :These simple manipulations reduced the pressure to <20 mm Hg for all cases. Swelling of the MRM has a close association with the risk of visual complications.17-22 The muscle swelling can be explained by postoperative release of the ischemic compression of extraocular muscles, as ischemia-induced vascular channel dilation causes the transudation of fluid into interstitial tissues.12
The Enigma of Orbital Compartment Syndrome After Lumbar Spine Surgery in the Prone Position: Case Report and Literature Review
2018, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :This is illustrated by the frequent reports of concomitant decreased supraorbital sensation, ophthalmoplegia, proptosis, ptosis, corneal abrasion, and even unilateral erythema in the scope of CRAO.1,14-19 Such orbital signs have also been reported in association with ION,1,20 but with an incidence much smaller than for CRAO. In retrospect, patients diagnosed with often misunderstood CRAO and ION with orbital signs after spinal surgery most likely had OCS.

2009, British Journal of AnaesthesiaCitation Excerpt :Loss of eye movements, ecchymosis, or other trauma near the eye was also reported. Most did not have imaging studies, but early orbital computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed proptosis and extraocular muscle swelling in some patients.57 Macular/retinal oedema, cherry red spot, or attenuated retinal vessels were typical.
