<p>Central Retinal Artery Occlusion After Nasosinal Surgery – an Insight</p>

Abstract: Objective: To describe a case of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) after nasosinal surgery and subject's subsequent response to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Design: Observational case report. Results: We describe a subject with diagnosed CRAO after septoplasty, bilateral inferior turbinate reduction and balloon sinuplasty, who was given hyperbaric oxygen treatment after four days of onset of CRAO with an improvement in visual acuity and visual field. Conclusion: Even though CRAO has been rarely repo… Show more

“…They managed the case using hyperbaric oxygen therapy four days after the insult. Despite the long period after the insult, which may be considered out of the window for intervention, there was an improvement both in the visual acuity and the visual field [ 7 ].…”

“…Central retinal artery occlusion has been reported as a rare complication after some otorhinolaryngology procedures. While this complication is not fully understood, it has been linked to different mechanisms, including trauma to the orbital wall or structures, injection of local anesthetic during the procedure, and fat embolism, which is considered an extremely rare complication [ 5 , 7 , 8 ]. Vasoconstrictive agents such as adrenaline are commonly used as local anesthetics during otorhinolaryngology procedures.…”

“…They also reported vasoconstriction in the background of epinephrine usage and the presence of autoimmune disease as the main cause of this problem, which was reversed by nitroglycerine. Similarly, Chowdhary et al [ 7 ] discussed a case of CRAO after sinus surgery in a 25-year-old healthy Caucasian male, with painless loss of vision in the left eye. Their case also received hyperbaric oxygen and showed improvement in visual acuity.…”
