摘要：

PURPOSE: To report a case of globe perforation while initiating posterior subtenon's anesthesia. METHODS: Case report. A 40-year-old man with a history of retinal detachment in both eyes presented for repair of a second retinal detachment in the LE. RESULTS: Upon dissecting a space beneath the Tenon capsule with scissors, the globe was perforated. CONCLUSION: In patients with prior ophthalmologic surgery, thinned sclera, or excess scar tissue, increased caution should be employed during initiation of sub-Tenon anesthesia or an alternative method should be used.
