Clinic Case:
Peribulbar anesthesia is used in daily practice during cataract surgery. It is a safe technique, but not without complications. We present the case of a man who had an orbital abscess secondary to peribulbar anesthesia that led to the perforation of an unknown frontoethmoidal mucocele.
Discussion:
Orbital abscess secondary to an iatrogenic mucocele perforation after anesthesia is a periorbital complication not described. The detection of the orbital process, intensive medical treatment and monitoring for signs of deterioration are vital in preventing serious complications.
