  • Title: Hyaluronidase induced orbital pseudotumor as complication of retrobulbar anesthesia.
    Author: Kempeneers A, Dralands L, Ceuppens J.
    Journal: Bull Soc Belge Ophtalmol; 1992; 243():159-66. PubMed ID: 1302146.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe 5 patients who developed an orbital pseudotumor as a complication of retrobulbar anesthesia. Allergy tests revealed a hypersensitivity to hyaluronidase, suggesting an immunoallergic etiology of the pseudotumor, which needed to be differentiated from other causes of proptosis after retrobulbar injection.
