A case of globe explosion after peribulbar anesthetic injection

Abstract

The ocular explosion is a very rare but serious complication of peribulbar anesthetic injection with only a few reports in the literature. A 360 Degrees dialysis of the retina due to a globe explosion after the peribulbar injection has been reported only in one case. We are reporting the complication of 360 d dialysis of the retina with the incarceration of the detached retina in the scleral wound after periocular injection of anesthetic for cataract surgery. Management and results of the case are reported here.
