| Abstract |
|
Various ophthalmic complications can occur after intranasal sinus surgery due to the closed anatomic relationship between orbit and paranasal sinuses. The authors experienced a patient who had complained of sudden proptosis and loss of vision in his right eye 2 days after Caldwell-Luc operation from the otolaryngologic clinic. Fundoscopic finding showed cherry-red spot, scattered retinal hemorrhage, retinal edema, arteriovenous obstruction sign. Emergent decompression surgery was done, under the impression of retinal vessel obstruction caused by orbital compression, and his visual acuity improved moderately after this procedure. |
