“…Retinal artery occlusions are rare complications in ESS. To date, only three reports of such complications have been published, and all were described as central retinal artery or branch retinal artery occlusions [1][2][3]. An extensive literature search was performed by the authors and no case of a cilioretinal artery occlusion after ESS was found.…”

“…For these reasons, ESS has gained popularity among otolaryngologists and its indications include a wide list of pathologies (e.g. chronic rhinosinusitis, mucoceles, orbital decompression) [1][2][3][4]. The close relation between sinonasal structures and the orbital cavity makes the orbit and its contents potentially susceptible to complications [1][2][3].…”

“…The literature includes three cases of central retinal artery occlusion resulting from ESS. Two cases had retro-orbital hemorrhages associated with central retinal artery occlusion, while the third one had an occlusion of the retinal artery due to a fat embolism [1,3].…”

The proximity between nasal and sinus structures and the orbit causes ocular complications to occur with some frequency in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). Among them, vascular ones are rare. Only 3 cases of post-ESS retinal artery obstruction have been published to date. Despite the low frequency, arterial occlusions can cause irreversible damage to vision. In the present report, we present a case of a patient who evolved with occlusion of the cilioretinal artery, leading to scotoma formation in the left eye, after ESS. The present report highlights the importance of the otolaryngologist's knowledge of this complication, which, although rare, has high morbidity.

A 60-year-old patient with a history of diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease was admitted to the eye nose and throat clinic due to complaints of difficulty in breathing. The patient was decided for functional endoscopic sinus surgery with the diagnosis of right nasal polyposis and chronic sinusitis. The patient had right visual loss with the findings of retinal artery occlusion, which is a rare ocular complication seen after functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Although the patient had proper urgent surgical and medical treatment, we did not observe visual improvement. Since this is a very rare condition, we intended to report it in the literature.
