Dear Editor, We read with interest the paper by Rezkallah et al. entitled “Unexpected amaurosis occurring after peribulbar anesthesia: Exploring the causes in two cases.” The Authors report two cases of transient blindness occurred after repeated peribulbar anesthesia (PB). The Authors suppose that “amaurosis might be explained by the fact that some anesthetic may have penetrated the RB (retrobulbar) space. In cases where two PB injections are administered, the anatomy is expected to change due to the volume effect of the first injection.

Abstract
Dear Editor, We read with interest the paper by Rezkallah et al. entitled “Unexpected amaurosis occurring after peribulbar anesthesia: Exploring the causes in two cases.” The Authors report two cases of transient blindness occurred after repeated peribulbar anesthesia (PB). The Authors suppose that “amaurosis might be explained by the fact that some anesthetic may have penetrated the RB (retrobulbar) space. In cases where two PB injections are administered, the anatomy is expected to change due to the volume effect of the first injection.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
