    AbstractThe Authors report two cases of central nervous system complications after retrobulbar block. These complications have a 0.044% incidence in 4500 subsequent cases of retrobulbar blockade studied from 1981 to 1990. The Authors attribute the respiratory arrest and coma to direct access of the anesthetic to the central nervous system along the subdural space in the optic nerve sheath.
