Summary

Intraoperative orbital hemorrhage is a rare but serious complication during rhinoplasty, particularly in patients with prior nasal trauma. Prompt recognition and management are crucial to prevent vision loss.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Hemorrhage is a common complication of rhinoplasty.
  • Orbital hemorrhage is a rare but severe complication during rhinoplasty.
  • Previous nasal trauma may increase the risk due to scarring and altered anatomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present two cases of intraoperative orbital hemorrhage during rhinoplasty.
  • To discuss the proposed mechanism of orbital hemorrhage in rhinoplasty.
  • To outline a management algorithm and preventive surgical techniques for orbital hemorrhage.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of two patients experiencing intraoperative orbital hemorrhage during rhinoplasty.
  • Review of surgical techniques and potential mechanisms for orbital hemorrhage.
  • Development of a management algorithm for this complication.

Main Results:

  • Two patients experienced intraoperative orbital hemorrhage during rhinoplasty.
  • Proposed mechanism involves shearing of fibrovascular scar tissue involving angular vessels.
  • A management algorithm and preventive strategies are presented.

Conclusions:

  • Orbital hemorrhage is a significant risk during rhinoplasty, especially in patients with prior nasal trauma.
  • Precise osteotomy techniques are essential to avoid aberrant anatomy and complications.
  • Prompt recognition and management are critical to prevent ocular injury and vision loss.
