Abstract

Dental anaesthesia is one of the most frequently performed medical procedures. Although the frequency of ocular complications is low, these can be alarming and can potentially give rise to medicolegal issues. Dentists and oral surgeons should be well-informed of these adverse reactions. Ophthalmologists and emergency physicians might be required for appropriate care of these patients. Fortunately, most ocular complications related to dental anesthesia are transient. Differential diagnosis includes stroke and intracranial hemorrhage and so vital signs are to be closely monitored. The planned surgical procedure can be carried out once the patient is fully informed and gave consent. The psychological aspect of such unexpected complication must be managed appropriately. We report a case with diplopia and ophthalmoplegia of a reversible and temporary nature. We also include a literature review of ophthalmologic complications after intraoral local anaesthesia in this paper. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(52): 2212–2216.
