Аннотация
BACKGROUND: The posterior superior alveolar (PSA) nerve block is commonly used in dentistry for treatment of the maxillary molars. Although this procedure is associated with many complications, ocular complications have been rarely reported.
CASE REPORT: This report details an iatrogenic paresis of the abducent nerve and partial palsy of the oculomotor nerve leading to diplopia, strabismus and ptosis following a PSA nerve block and extraction of maxillary right second molar. The patient was treated symptomatically, and the recovery was uneventful. Relevant anatomical pathways with review of literature are discussed.
DISCUSSION: Although rare, the dentist should be aware of these complications to avoid being perplexed by this unexpected circumstance, thus adversely affecting the doctor-patient trust.
