  • Title: [A case of reflex sympathetic dystrophy following a retinous surgery].
    Author: Morimoto Y, Kamikawa K, Shirakawa J, Obara H.
    Journal: Masui; 1997 Apr; 46(4):549-51. PubMed ID: 9128031.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of a 54-year-old female with post-operative severe continuous ocular pain which occurred 3 months after retinal operation. Her general and mental conditions were good. We diagnosed it reflex sympathetic dystrophy and treated with stellate ganglion blocks (SGB) and continuous cervical epidural blocks. SGB and continuous cervical epidural blocks were effective. With increasing numbers of retinal surgery in recent years, more patients will suffer from postoperative ocular pain. We conclude that SGB or epidural block is useful for the therapy of ocular pain which can not be controlled by drugs and other therapy.
