Summary

Delayed rectus muscle hemorrhage, a rare complication after strabismus surgery, can cause temporary vision loss. Prompt surgical intervention may restore full visual function.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Strabismus surgery aims to correct eye alignment.
  • Postoperative complications, though uncommon, require prompt recognition.

Observation:

  • A 26-year-old male developed delayed rectus muscle hemorrhage 36 hours post-strabismus surgery.
  • This resulted in transient vision loss and limited ocular motility.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent urgent lateral cantholysis and orbital exploration for hemostasis.
  • Full visual recovery was achieved, with a minor residual motility deficit noted at 3 months.

Implications:

  • Delayed rectus muscle hemorrhage is a rare but potentially sight-threatening complication.
  • Prompt surgical intervention, including orbital exploration, is crucial for preserving vision when optic nerve compromise is suspected.
