Retrobulbar hemorrhage (RBH) is a rare but potentially devastating complication that can lead to permanent vision loss. Prompt identification and appropriate intervention are critical to avoid irreversible blindness. Practitioners are aware of the potential development of RBH secondary to orbital floor reconstruction, blepharoplasty, and endoscopic sinus surgery, however, rarely due to dental procedures. In this case report, we present RBH resulting following upper wisdom tooth extraction and to review the possible anatomical pathway underlying this complication.
