Retrobulbar block is one of the common anesthesia methods in ophthalmic surgery, however, misconducting 
the procedure would result in severe complications including central toxicity from local anesthetics. This study 
presented a 26-year-old female patient diagnosed retinal detachment for retinal surgery under retrobulbar 
block, 10 min after anesthesia, the patient initially exhibited increased heart rate and blood pressure, inability to 
swallow secretions (sputum), hoarseness, and dyspnea, then SpO2 decreased, the patient displayed contralateral 
eye movement disorder, reduced systemic muscle strength and other clinical manifestations. The condition was 
improved with the treatments for life support, and the surgery completed uneventfully under general anesthesia 
with tracheal intubation.
