Orbital supratrochlear fistula secondary to anaesthetic block in cataract surgery.

Orbital supratrochlear fistula secondary to anaesthetic block in cataract surgery. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol. 2019 Aug 01;: Authors: Díez-Montero C, Fernández-Pérez GC, Galindo-Ferreiro A Abstract A case is described of a woman with history of right peribulbar nerve block prior to cataract surgery that, within a few days, presented with a trochlear intraorbital arteriovenous fistula. This was resolved without sequelae after three months by performing intermittent homolateral carotid massages. This is the first case of supratrochlear intraorbital arteriovenous fistula. There are only 8 cases reported of traumatic intraorbital arteriovenous fistula, and only one was with post-peribulbar anaesthesia. PMID: 31378390 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
