AB  - Visual  loss  after  anesthesia  and  surgery  is  a  rare  and  devastating  complication,  with  the  most  frequent  cases  occurring  after  spinal  fusion  and  cardiac  surgery.  It  should  be  considered  in  any  patient  who  complains  of  visual  loss  during  the  first  week  after  surgery.  The  most  frequently  reported  cause  of  postoperative  visual  loss  (POVL)  is  ischemic  optic  neuropathy.  Ischemic  optic  neuropathy  has  also  been  reported  in  patients  undergoing  radical  neck  operations  and  robotic-assisted  prostatectomy  in  steep  Trendelenburg  positioning.  Other  less  common  cases  of  POVL  include  retinal  artery  occlusion,  cortical  blindness,  and  ophthalmic  vein  obstruction.
