Retrobulbar block is one of the common anesthesia methods in ophthalmic surgery, however, misconducting
the procedure would result in severe complications including central toxicity from local anesthetics. This study
presented a 26-year-old female patient diagnosed retinal detachment for retinal surgery under retrobulbar
block, 10 min after anesthesia, the patient initially exhibited increased heart rate and blood pressure, inability to
swallow secretions (sputum), hoarseness, and dyspnea, then SpO2 decreased, the patient displayed contralateral
eye movement disorder, reduced systemic muscle strength and other clinical manifestations. The condition was
improved with the treatments for life support, and the surgery completed uneventfully under general anesthesia
with tracheal intubation.
