Summary

The oculocardiac reflex, a rare event in anophthalmia, was observed during surgery for an anophthalmic socket. This case highlights a previously unreported occurrence during lower lid and socket procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • The oculocardiac reflex is a well-documented phenomenon, typically associated with ocular manipulation.
  • Anophthalmia, the absence of an eyeball, presents unique challenges in ocular surgery.

Observation:

  • A rare instance of the oculocardiac reflex was noted in a patient with an anophthalmic socket.
  • The reflex occurred during a surgical procedure to correct inferior fornix shortening and lower lid laxity.

Findings:

  • This is the first reported case of the oculocardiac reflex occurring in an anophthalmic socket.
  • The findings suggest that the reflex can be triggered even without a globe present.

Implications:

  • This case expands the understanding of the oculocardiac reflex triggers.
  • Ophthalmologists should be aware of this potential reflex during anophthalmic socket surgery.
  • Further research may be needed to elucidate the mechanisms involved in this rare presentation.
