Zusammenfassung:A 52-year-old woman without underlying disease presented left lateral rectus muscle palsy immediately in the recovery room after functional endoscopic sinus surgery. The symptom completely recovered after an hour without any medical treatment. It was deduced to be caused by the local anesthesia. Postoperative unilateral lateral gaze palsy is a rare complication with various etiologies having mostly favorable prognosis. Clinicians should be aware of the local anesthetic effect as a cause of this complication.
