I N 1959--60 we observed 3 patients who experienced sudden loss of vision immediately following operation. This suggested to us a review of our readily available material. We eliminated cases of pr imary t rauma, aneurysm, postoperative infection and complications originating as the result of diagnostic procedures. There remained l0 cases and for these brief stunmattes have been made. In 1 instance there was misadventure during the operative procedure. In several patients the preoperative symptoms and signs conformed to a generally recognized pattern. Unanticipated developments following operation in such cases provided speculation in some and consternation in others. In still other cases, unusual and complicated pat terns were present prior to operation and consequently unusual features might have been anticipated to follow the procedure. In such cases uncertainty as regards prognosis is a principal problem. There is a remarkable paucity of systematie studies on loss of vision and visual fields in the early postoperative period. Such occurrences are described occasionally in individual case reports. We have not made a survey of the ana tomy including the vascular supply of the parts concerned but mention is made of important c(>ntributions. An l l t h case is smnmarizcd briefly because it is relevant to the study and has intrinsic interest. We do not have personal experience, in the circumstances in which they were described |
