AbstractA 69-year-old white female presented for corneal transplant, but her numerous medical problems placed her at unacceptably high risk for prolonged general anesthesia. Routine monitored anesthesia care measures would not have provided her or the surgeon the comfort and repose necessary for a successful outcome. We describe anesthetic management for ophthalmic surgery, using epidural anesthesia in conjunction with retrobulbar block, in an elderly patient at high risk for general anesthesia whose intractable back and leg pain would have otherwise precluded her cooperation in maintaining a motionless operative field.
