title: Psychiatric complications after ocular surgery.
abstract: Delirium was demonstrated after cataract surgery in a 64-year-old man (case 1). The patient struck his head against the floor; thereafter an extradural hematoma was found and extracted. Postoperative delirium was also noted in a 58-year-old woman (case 2) and in a 26-year-old woman (case 3) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. All 3 patients recovered from their psychiatric complications within 1 month.
