Hypersensitivity Reaction to Hyaluronidase After Peribulbar Anesthesia for Cataract Surgery: Two Case Reports
These cases illustrate that hyaluronidase hypersensitivity, though uncommon, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute postoperative periorbital inflammation. A combination of clinical vigilance, targeted imaging, and judicious use of laboratory tests is key to distinguishing this condition from infectious complications. Early diagnosis and a structured management approach are crucial to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.
