Inferior Oblique Overaction: The Results of Myectomy in Cases with a Primary Position Vertical Deviation Less and More Than 20 Prism Diopters.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of myectomy in inferior oblique overaction cases with a vertical deviation angle of <20 and ≥20 prism diopters (PD) in the primary position.

Methods: The medical records of cases with inferior oblique overaction that underwent inferior oblique myectomy for ≥6 PD hypertropia in the primary position and >+1 inferior oblique overaction were reviewed. Preoperative and postoperative examination findings and success rates were compared of cases with a deviation angle <20 PD (Group 1) and ≥20 PD (Group 2).

Phenprobamate dependence: a case report.

Phenprobamate (3-phenylpropylcarbamate) is a centrally acting muscle relaxant with mild sedative and anticonvulsant effects. Muscle relaxants can enhance and prolong the effect of narcotic drugs and enable to obtain same effect with a smaller amount of alcohol or illicit substance. Almost all of the centrally acting muscle relaxants have varying sedative effects on which their abuse potential mainly depends.
