Abstract
The oculocardiac reflex occurring after orbital surgical procedures is a well recognised peri operative complication which has been well reported in the literature. In this reflex the ophthalmic branch of trigeminal nerve transmits the afferent impulse to the sensory nucleus of trigeminal nerve (V) in the brain stem via the gasserion ganglion. The efferent arc involves the motor nucleus of the vagus nerve through short internuntial fibres in the brain stem, stimulation of which is responsible for the bradycardia.
