Introduction. @entity2900 , a deepolarizing muscle relaxant, @entity2790 . It is therefore advised to be avoided in @entity1538 surgery, for fear of extruding ocular contents. Several anecdotal reports support this fear. Some workers however, dispute this claim. There is as yet no formal case report in the literature on the subject. Case Presentation. A 34-year old Nigerian male, was involved in a road traffic accident. He presented at the Accident _ Emergency Unit of our hospital about 2 hours after the accident. Clinical examination revealed @entity2687 (with intact ocular contents) and @entity3511 . Emergency laparotomy was scheduled, to be followed with corneal repair. Anaesthesia was induced with 10   mg @entity1363 , 100   mg @entity3652 , and 100   mg @entity2900 given intravenously in sequence. After laparotomy, the ophthalmologists reported for the corneal repair, only to find that the vitreous humour has been extruded. Conclusion. The fear about the use of @entity2900 in @entity1538 situations is real. It will be good clinical judgment to use alternative drugs and techniques to effect rapid muscle relaxation, in the anaesthetic management of the @entity1538 @entity1 . This would be of interest to anaesthetists, ophthalmologists and clinical pharmacologists among others.
