Abstract

Perioperative posterior ischemic optic neuropathy (PION) is a drastic complication for patients when they notice vision loss after recovering from anesthesia and this might have some medicolegal implications. Here, we report a 51-year-old male with bilateral vision loss due to PION after multiple laparotomies to control intrabdominal bleeding.
