Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Anesthesiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Peribulbar anesthesia is a common technique for ophthalmic procedures.
  • Understanding the anatomical effects of peribulbar anesthesia is crucial for patient safety and procedural success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the anatomical changes in orbital structures induced by peribulbar anesthesia.
  • To assess the diffusion and spread of anesthetic agents within the orbit.
  • To identify potential impacts on surgically important structures like recti muscles and the optic nerve sheath.

Main Methods:

  • Thin-slice computed tomography (CT) scans were utilized.
  • 8-9 ml of anesthetic with a contrast medium was injected under CT guidance.
  • Assessment included extraconal and intraconal spread, involvement of ocular muscles and optic nerve sheath, conjunctival chemosis, and induced ptosis.

Main Results:

  • The study provides insights for optimizing peribulbar anesthetic techniques, including site, materials, and volume.
  • Findings suggest that the volume of anesthetic used could potentially be reduced.
  • Detailed visualization of anesthetic spread aids in understanding potential complications and improving delivery.

Conclusions:

  • Peribulbar anesthesia is an effective and safe method for patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery.
  • Optimized techniques based on anatomical understanding can enhance safety and potentially reduce anesthetic volume.
