    Postoperative succinylcholine-induced ocular position reliably predicts one-week alignment in congenital esotropia patients. This finding may enable intraoperative prediction of surgical outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuromuscular Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Congenital esotropia is a common misalignment of the eyes present from birth.
    • Accurate prediction of postoperative alignment is crucial for successful surgical outcomes in strabismus surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between drug-induced ocular positions under anesthesia and awake ocular alignment in patients with congenital esotropia.
    • To determine if intraoperative measurements can predict postoperative alignment outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Succinylcholine was administered intraoperatively to 20 patients with congenital esotropia before and after surgery.
    • Regression analysis was used to correlate awake pre- and postoperative alignment with drug-induced ocular positions.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The ocular position induced by succinylcholine after surgery was a highly significant predictor of the one-week postoperative alignment (r = 0.98, p < 0.0001).
    • A strong correlation was observed between intraoperative measurements and postoperative alignment.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraoperative succinylcholine-induced ocular position is a strong predictor of short-term postoperative alignment in congenital esotropia.
    • This predictive capability may allow for intraoperative assessment of surgical success, potentially guiding surgical adjustments.
