This case reports a patient who developed central retinal artery occlusion following spinal surgery in the prone position. When placed in this position, especially as a result of malposition of the head, the patient may develop external compression of the eye which leads to central retinal artery occlusion. Therefore, a special precaution must be given for adequate eye protection during prolonged prone-positioned spine surgery.
本病例报告了一名在俯卧位脊柱手术后发生视网膜中央动脉阻塞的患者。当处于该体位时,尤其是由于头部位置不当,患者可能会出现眼部外部受压,进而导致视网膜中央动脉阻塞。因此,在长时间的俯卧位脊柱手术期间,必须采取特殊预防措施以充分保护眼睛。
