Reversible Dilation of the Superior Ophthalmic Vein in Intubated Patients [HEAD & NECK]

Bilateral dilation of the superior ophthalmic vein is common in intubated patients and usually reverses following extubation. In the appropriate clinical setting, this knowledge will prevent misinterpretation of prominent superior ophthalmic veins as automatically indicative of an underlying pathology.
