Posterior superior alveolar nerve block (PSANB) is one of the most common and safe injection techniques in the field of dentistry. As with any other procedure, it also has inherent complications, of which ophthalmic complications are relatively rare. Transient diplopia following the administration of PSANB is rare and daunting for both the patient and the clinician. We present a case of transient diplopia in a 26-year-old female patient following administration of PSANB and review its probable pathophysiology and management and prevention.
上牙槽后神经阻滞(PSANB)是牙科领域最常见且安全的注射技术之一。与任何其他操作一样,它也有固有的并发症,其中眼部并发症相对少见。PSANB注射后出现短暂性复视的情况罕见,且无论对患者还是临床医生来说都令人畏惧。我们报告一例26岁女性患者在接受PSANB注射后出现短暂性复视的病例,并对其可能的病理生理学、处理及预防方法进行综述。
