Unilateral mydriasis during general anesthesia.
A healthy 24-year-old woman was taken to the operating room for surgical removal of impacted third molars while under general anesthesia. During surgery, a local anesthetic was administered, resulting in mydriasis, which was initially mistaken for a central nervous system deficit secondary to a complication from general anesthetic.
