Abstract

The oculocardiac reflex (OCR) occurs in up to 90% of ophthalmological surgeries. Several preventive and treatment strategies have been described. Coronary artery spasm (CAS) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of variant angina and myocardial infarction. We describe an unusual case of a perioperative myocardial infarction due to CAS that occurred in the setting of the treatment of the OCR. We offer insight aimed at minimizing the deleterious effects of the OCR and its management.
