Core Tip Inadvertent globe penetration during retrobulbar anesthesia is an uncommon and serious complication. We present a case of needle perforation of the globe during retrobulbar injection. We discuss the results of our literature search for evidence related to reasons for needle perforation and complications related to perforation, as well as the clinical management of subretinal hemorrhage, in an effort to encourage ophthalmologists to pay more attention to this sight-threatening complication. If iatrogenic perforations occur, timely detection and earlier intervention may be beneficial for prognosis.
