Description
Xi Chen, Yizhou Ren, and Fang Chen reported severe eye swelling after vein-narrowing surgery in the skull in 2023. A twenty-five-year-old woman came in with a month of blurred vision in both eyes, headache, and vomiting. A month earlier she had surgery to narrow a sigmoid sinus, done to treat a pulsing ear noise.
Eye checks showed severe swelling of both optic discs. A spinal tap found high pressure inside the skull. Scans showed the operated sinus blocked at the surgical site. Drugs failed, so the first surgeon removed the implanted sponge, reopening the sinus. Pressure and vision then normalized, and three years of follow-up showed no return. The authors flag a first known link of its kind.
