Abstract(summary):

Purpose: We report a case of orbital apex syndrome associated with ocular ischemic syndrome after unenventful cataract surgery. Case summary: A 74-year-old female came to our clinic with vision loss, ptosis, total ophthalmoplegia and ocular pain in the left eye after cataract surgery. On radiologic examination, diffuse hypertrophy of the extraocular muscles and a crowded orbital apex were observed. Additionally, the arm to retina and choroidal filling times were delayed on fluorescence angiography. Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed with ocular ischemia complicated by orbital apex syndrome. After prompt pulse steroid therapy, improvement in extraocular muscle and pupil movement, ptosis and proptosis were observed; however, visual acuity failed to return to baseline. Conclusions: We report a rare case of orbital apex syndrome associated with ocular ischemic syndrome after cataract surgery, indicating the orbital apex syndrome may occur in healthy patients after uneventful cataract surgery.
