title: [Peribulbar anaesthesia for strabismus surgery].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Strabismus surgery is underwent with general anaesthesia since it's a paediatric surgery in the majority of cases. The aim of our study is to analyse the safety and tolerance of peribulbar anaesthesia for strabismus surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  sixty two patients underwent strabismus surgery with a peribulbar anaesthesia. All patients had premedication the evening before and two hours bef6re the surgery. All patients were examined to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of such anaesthesia.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The main age was 31,5 years. Forty patients were female and twenty two were male. None had report pain. Three patients report just incomfort during surgery. Orthoptic results were acceptable.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Peribulbar anaesthesia has shown to be an effective alternative for general anaesthesia for strabismus surgery in an attempt to reduce the morbidity and mortality. It take importance particularly in patients of high-risk characteristics and in monocular surgery.
