Loss of vision after transurethral resection of prostate: A case report

The overall complication rate of Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) is about 11.1%. Amongst all complications, ocular complications are one of the rarest. In this paper, we present a case of vision loss due to paradoxical embolism as a rare complication following TURP. Ocular complications a...

description The overall complication rate of Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) is about 11.1%. Amongst all complications, ocular complications are one of the rarest. In this paper, we present a case of vision loss due to paradoxical embolism as a rare complication following TURP. Ocular complications are very rare in urological surgeries but can happen due to paradoxical embolism following patent foramen ovale. Therefore, we recommend the early diagnosis and treatment of PFO prior to this type of surgery.
