ABSTRACT
A patient with marked exophthalmos secondary to thyroid eye disease presented for tarsorrhaphy and removal of orbital fat. A single superolateral peribulbar injection was performed. After injection of 3.5 ml of local anaesthetic solution, the globe suddenly dislocated anteriorly. This complication has not been described previously. In patients with exophthalmos, general anaesthesia should be considered as the method of choice for ophthalmic procedures.
