Popis: Succinylcholine was injected intra operatively in 20 patients with congenital esotropia, before and after the surgical procedure. Regression analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between the awake preand postoperative alignment and the drug-induced ocular positions, under anesthesia. The postoperative succinylcholine-induced ocular position was found to be a highly significant predictor of the one week post-operative alignment (r=0.98, p < 0.0001). Further investigation may lead to an ability to predict the postoperative alignment intraoperatively.
