Abstract

Retrobulbar hemorrhage is a rare complication following cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, which has never been reported in Korea. Our cardiac surgery tearn diagnosed a case of 30 year-old female patient as atrial septal defect and performed direct closure for it. Proptosis of the right eye was developed during surgery and she was consulted to Department of Ophthalmology, St. Mary's Hospital, Catholic University Medical College. We confirmed the evidence of the proptosis of the right eye with Hertel's exophthalmo meter and diagnosed this case as retrobulbar hemorrhage that orbital CT showed a large ovoid shaped non-enhancing hyperdense mass shadow at superior portion of the right orbit. So we report our case with a brief review of the literature related to retrobulbar hemorrhage during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
