Central Retinal Artery Occlusion After Nasosinal Surgery - an Insight.

Objective: To describe a case of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) after nasosinal surgery and subject's subsequent response to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

Design: Observational case report.

Results: We describe a subject with diagnosed CRAO after septoplasty, bilateral inferior turbinate reduction and balloon sinuplasty, who was given hyperbaric oxygen treatment after four days of onset of CRAO with an improvement in visual acuity and visual field.

Conclusion: Even though CRAO has been rarely reported after ENT procedures and HBOT has been previously described for the treatment, this is the case report where hyperbaric oxygen was given after four days of onset, with a possible improvement.
