[Psychomotor disturbance after an endocular operation (author's transl)]

After an endocular operation, a mental derangement may happen in the next hours or next days; it's characterized by psychomotor disturbance, excitement, confusion in the time and the space, auditory and visual hallucinations. The consequence may be serious on general and ocular field. This syndrome is produced by the stress of the intervention with predisposed patients (artériosclerosis, old people, alcoholic patients, patients in a low strate). The change of the rythm of usual life, the temporary privation of the sensorial function favouring its appearance. To avoid it, it's advisable to reassure the future patient, to put him in a climate trust, and to avoid isolation during his stay in hospital. Post operational antialgics might be useful. During the confused state, the patient must not be living isolated. The sight must be recovered as soon as possible. One can add neurosedatives, but with precautions, and if it's electrolytic troubles, to fight it by an adequate reanimation.
