- Fundus photograph of a 74-year-old woman who underwent pars plana vitrectomy OS due to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. A horseshoe retinal tear can be seen at 5h. Intraoperative evaluation revealed a chorioretinal scar with the shape of the needle track at the same location. Despite rare, globe perfuration after peri or retrobulbar block may happen, even by the most experienced anesthesiologist.
