Abstract:
Central retinal artery occlusion can be caused by excessive extrinsic pressure on the eyeball during surgery. It is a well-known and severe complication after elective back surgery. The authors report a case of central retinal artery occlusion in an adult after posterior lumbar fusion in which a rectangular headrest was used.
