Persistent diplopia after retrobulbar anesthesia is often caused by extraocular muscle issues like overaction or anesthetic myotoxicity. Preoperative screening for sensory strabismus is crucial to prevent postoperative double vision.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Retrobulbar anesthesia is commonly used for ophthalmic procedures.
  • Persistent diplopia following retrobulbar anesthesia is a recognized complication.

Observation:

  • A study investigated 28 patients experiencing persistent diplopia six months post-retrobulbar anesthesia.
  • Diagnostic tests included prism and alternate cover tests, Lancaster test, Bielshowsky head tilt test, and others as needed.

Findings:

  • Extraocular muscle imbalances, particularly vertical rectus overaction, were observed in 50% of cases, linked to direct trauma or anesthetic myotoxicity.
  • Sensory strabismus, often undetected preoperatively due to poor vision, was presumed in 32% of patients.
  • A small percentage of patients had unexplained vertical deviations.

Implications:

  • Anesthetic myotoxicity and direct trauma are significant causes of post-retrobulbar anesthesia diplopia.
  • Thorough preoperative assessment for sensory strabismus and patient counseling on diplopia risks are essential.
  • Improved diagnostic strategies may help identify subtle preoperative conditions leading to postoperative strabismus.
