Min, Kim, Kim, Yoon, Yoem, and Min: Central Retinal Artery Occlusion after Cervical Spine Surgery in Prone Position: A Case Report

Abstract

Central retinal artery occlusion occurs rarely as a complication of spine surgery in prone position, but is quite tragic. The suggested cause are hypotensive anesthesia and increased external ocular pressure by headrest, sand bag or others. We experienced a case of left central retinal artery occlusion(CRAO) after surgery of C4-5 fracture-dislocation using a horseshoe headrest and report this case.
