Abstract
Ischemic optic neuropathy occurred in a patient following liposuction. Perioperative anemia and hypotension may be the cause of this complication. Correction of anemia with transfusion improved the hemoglobin and hematocrit but the right eye remained blind. Liposuction should be added to the list of the surgical procedures that may produce ischemic optic neuropathy as an isolated complication.Entities:
