Diplopia: A Rare Orthopedic Clinical Complaint After Knee Arthroscopy

Abstract

The patient was a 32-year-old male who had undergone arthroscopic surgery under spinal anesthesia ten days prior to being admitted to hospital with a com-plaint of diplopia (double vision). The patient was examined and it was deter-mined that the diplopia was due to sixth cranial nerve palsy. After conservative treatment, his complaints decreased after two weeks and completely resolved in one month. We present the case of diplopia due to spinal anesthesia after arthroscopic surgery, which is not a typical case seen by orthopaedic surgeons. © 2016 Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine.
