Ophthalmic complications, including vision loss, are rare but serious risks following spinal surgery. Prompt recognition and intervention are crucial for potentially reversing these vision issues.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Neurosurgery
- Orthopedics
Background:
- Ophthalmic complications are infrequent after major spinal reconstructive surgery.
- Existing orthopedic literature inadequately addresses these rare events.
