    AbstractThis case presents and discusses a case of unilateral proptosis immediately following intubation in a patient who underwent laparoscopic ventral hernia repair under general anesthesia. The patient developed a right-sided proptosis following intubation when noninvasive blood pressure was measured as 167/111 mm Hg. The operation was postponed, and anesthesia was terminated. Proptosis resolved spontaneously following extubation. To the best of our knowledge, there is no case report of proptosis secondary to intubation. The aim of this report is to increase the awareness of rare complications caused by intubation, especially ocular complications, and to underline the importance of preoperative evaluation.Copyright © 2021 International Anesthesia Research Society.
