Abstract

Ocular complications with the administration of local anesthetic are not completely unheard of but extremely rare. Such complications include diplopia, ptosis, temporary paralysis, amaurosis and even permanent blindness.Ophthalmologic complications have been reported with block anesthesia of mainly the inferior alveolar nerve and posterior superior alveolar nerve. Here we present a case of temporary paralysis of the lateral rectus muscle after the administration of a posterior superior alveolar nerve block.
