Abstract
Visual disturbance following non-ophthalmologic surgery under general anesthesia is rare but can be devastating both socially and medicolegally. Immediate salvage intervention as well as prevention is of utmost importance since this can be a serious blow to patient's functional outcome postoperatively. We experienced a case of temporary but significant visual disturbance right after transperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer. We need to raise our levels of vigilance to this condition since it can be avoided and prevented with immediate therapeutic intervention and decent clinical awareness.
