Abstract
Clinic case

Peribulbar anesthesia is used in daily practice during cataract surgery. It is a safe technique, but not without complications. We present the case of a man who had an orbital abscess secondary to peribulbar anesthesia that led to the perforation of an unknown frontoethmoidal mucocele.

Discussion

Orbital abscess secondary to an iatrogenic mucocele perforation after anesthesia is a periorbital complication not described. The detection of the orbital process, intensive medical treatment and monitoring for signs of deterioration are vital in preventing serious complications.

Keywords:
Orbital abscess
Frontoethmoidal mucocele
Peribulbar anesthesia
Resumen
Caso clínico

La anestesia peribulbar es una técnica habitual durante la cirugía de cataratas. Es una técnica segura pero no exenta de complicaciones. Se presenta el caso de un varón que desarrolló un absceso orbitario tras una anestesia peribulbar que produjo la perforación de un mucocele frontoetmoidal no conocido.

Discusión

El absceso orbitario secundario a la perforación iatrogénica de un mucocele tras una anestesia peribulbar es una complicación hasta ahora no descrita. El diagnóstico precoz del proceso orbitario, el tratamiento médico intensivo y la monitorización de los signos de deterioro son vitales para la prevención de complicaciones serias.

Palabras clave:
Absceso orbitario
Mucocele frontoetmoidal
Anestesia peribulbar
