Abstract
|
|
|
|
Endoscopic sinus surgery has been used popularly for treatment of chronic paranasal sinusitis. Sometimes endoscopic sinus surgery is complicated by narrow visual field and anatomical variations. Oculocardiac reflex is developed by surgical or nonsurgical procedures to the eyeball. It occurs because of decreasing of heart rate and other arrhythmia including atrioventricular block, ventricular premature beat and cardiac arrest. Oculocardiac reflex during endoscopic sinus surgery is unusual and it is potentially a life threatening complication. The authors report the first case of oculocardiac reflex experienced during endoscopic sinus surgery in Korea with a review of the literature.
