Abstract:
We present yet another case of apparent inferior rectus paralysis following retrobulbar anesthesia for cataract surgery. He initially had a typical course but, unusually, after developing hypotropia and presumed contracture, went on to spontaneously recover. We are unaware of any other such case described in the literature. Methods to enhance this more desirable course are considered.
