Right-sided complete blindness post-kyphoscoliosis correction surgery – A case report
In this case, the long duration of surgery and intraoperative hypotension likely caused this catastrophic postoperative complication. In the future, an arterial line to avoid hypotension, prophylactically raising the head 20°, and use of the 3-pin head holder should be routinely employed to prevent/limit the risk of intraoperative retinal artery occlusion.
