Abstract
We report 3 cases of globe rupture after peribulbar anesthesia. We discuss the predisposing factors, presenting features, and visual outcome after this complication. Globe explosion is a severe complication of inadvertent intraocular injection during peribulbar anesthesia. Visual outcome after vitrectomy is generally poor; however, cases that do not develop a retinal detachment may achieve good results.Entities:
