Abstrakt: In this case report, we describe a patient with an acute bilateral posterior detachment of the vitreous, which developed during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) under general anesthesia. The patient developed symptoms of posterior vitreous detachment immediately after recovery from the eighth ECT session. The ophthalmologist confirmed the clinical diagnosis and ECT was stopped. We review the literature and discuss the ocular side effects of ECT.
