Transient blindness following hysteroscopy.

A Karci1, Y Erkin.   

Abstract

The potential adverse effects resulting from absorption of irrigation fluids during endoscopic procedures are well documented. Glycine, which is commonly used as an irrigation solution, has an inhibitory effect both on the central nervous system and on the retinal cells. We report the case of a woman who developed transient blindness following hysteroscopic myomectomy in which glycine was used as the irrigation solution.
