Generalized seizures during cataract surgery following peribulbar block: A case report
Local anesthesia techniques are commonly used to perform the cataract surgery. Among these techniques, peribulbar anesthesia (PBA), when compared to retrobulbar anesthesia, is more effective and safe. However, peribulbar anesthesia PBA is not without risk. Complications may arise which if not recognized early and resuscitated, can be fatal.
