Inferior Oblique Anterior Transposition in the Treatment of Upshoot in Duane Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose: We report the procedure of inferior oblique anterior transposition (IOAT) in the treatment of upshoot in patients with Duane retraction syndrome (DRS). Methods: Two patients with DRS underwent surgery for severe up-shoot. For both patients, the inferior oblique (IO) was transposed to the temporal border of IO insertion. Approximately 64 months of periodic follow-ups for Case 1 and 7 months of periodic follow-ups for Case 2 were conducted. Results: After surgery, both patients showed a marked decrease in upshoot without noticeable anti-elevation syndrome. Conclusions: IOAT is an effective procedure in the treatment of significant upshoot in DRS.

Antielevation Syndrome after Bilateral Anterior Transposition of the Inferior Oblique Muscles
Dear Editor, Anterior transposition of the inferior oblique (IO) muscle is an effective treatment for dissociative vertical deviation (DVD) when associated with IO muscle overaction [1]. By transposing the insertion of the IO muscle anterior to the equator, a force vector of the IO muscle converts from elevation to depression, which in turn reduces DVD [1]. After the procedure, the superior rec...
متن کاملTorsion as a contributing cause of the anti-elevation syndrome.
BACKGROUND The anti-elevation syndrome is an adverse outcome of anterior transposition of the inferior oblique muscle. The presumed cause is an excessive anti-elevating force vector that occurs with attempted elevation in abduction. This causes apparent overaction of the contralateral inferior oblique muscle due to fixation duress. It has been suggested that excessive residual extorsion may hel...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Among the various weakening techniques of inferior oblique muscle overaction, the most commonly used techniques include myectomy, recession, and anterior transposition. Anterior transposition and myectomy were compared to evaluate the surgical results in inferior oblique overaction. METHODS 20 children with bilateral +3 overacting inferior oblique muscles underwent a prospecti...

BACKGROUND Anterior transposition of the inferior oblique muscle is a popular treatment for dissociated vertical divergence. It seems that this surgical procedure may alter the palpebral fissure. OBJECTIVES To investigate the alteration of the palpebral fissure with inferior oblique muscle anterior transposition when it is performed as the sole operative procedure and to report the cases of p...
متن کاملResection and anterior transposition of the inferior oblique muscle for treatment of inferior rectus muscle hypoplasia with esotropia
Purpose To report a case of inferior rectus muscle hypoplasia with esotropia, which was treated successfully by resection and anterior transposition of the inferior oblique muscle. Observations A 1-year-old boy presented with esotropia. He had esotropia of 15-30° and intermittent left hypertropia. At the age of 3 years, the alternate prism cover test showed esotropia of 35Δ and left hypertrop...
