Omental Infarction is an under-explored origin of acute abdominal pain and has uncertain etiology. Because of its low incidence and nonspecific presentation, it can be difficult to diagnose. However, the increasing use of CT scans in patient evaluation has unveiled this phenomenon. We present the first case of postoperative omental infarction after laparoscopic proctocolectomy with end ileostomy in a 71-year-old male patient, who was successfully treated by removal of the infarct.

Introduction Perioperative visual loss occurring during non-ocular surgery is a devastating event. Ischaemic optic neuropathy (ION) is a complication described following many procedures. We report the first case of ION occurring during laparoscopic proctocolectomy and discuss the aetiological factors. Case History A 58-year-old male presented with rectal bleeding and was diagnosed with an adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon. A very difficult laparoscopic sigmoidectomy and a low anterior resection of the rectum with an end colostomy were carried out. The technical difficulties were due to body habitus and the size and position of the tumour. The operation lasted over six hours. On the first day postoperatively, the patient complained of blurred vision. Examination showed that he had suffered bilateral ION. Discussion Despite the growing numbers of laparoscopic operations, ION has rarely been described. The cases that were published involved laparoscopic prostatectomy and a prolonged steep Trendelenburg position. We postulate that the patient presented here had suffered both from a relative hypotension and from an acute rise in the intraorbital pressure due to patient position, both factors combining to cause a disruption to ocular perfusion resulting in ION with severe permanent visual damage.
